Posted at 3:50am on Saturday 8th December 2012 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
It's cold and snowing here in Furano. Things are starting to pick back up weather-wise after a relatively quiet morning, but the steady snow that's moved in over the last hour should be here to stay throughout the night and into tomorrow, bulking up those slopes with a healthy dose of fresh powder.
It's currently a nippy -4 with winds blustering around at 3-4 m/s. Hopefully we'll get another 10cm+ out of this storm too, making for a lot of happy skiers tomorrow. The snow is still blowing around out there, so be sure to keep bundled up while you're out there enjoying all that powder.
