Posted on Sunday 5th March 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
Got a bit of a surprise a few minutes ago when I looked out the window to see some serious snow on the ground. It is snowing heavily in the village and the accumulation is 19cm as of right now. Needless to say this will be a powder Sunday and not a day to be missed. Visibility will be a bit limited due to overcast skies and the heavy precipitation. More heavy snowfall is forecast for Monday!
