A snow front arrived late yesterday and is continuing to dump snow all over Furano. Cars are driving around Furano with 20cm of snow on their roofs and graders have been ploughing the roads since early morning. Temperatures have gone back to mid winter norms which means the quality of the powder is very very good. Visibility wont be perfect today but the powder should make up for that.
