Good news on several fronts. First, good chunk of snow again last night.

11 cm of new snow, and very fwuffy. Brushes right off the car.

Yes, true, it has snowed. Just not a lot.

High overcast, a touch of new snow, nice cold temps...it could all be worse.

Added another bit overnight. Most welcome.

A beautiful mostly blue-sky day here in Furano.

More snow! Yeah! I can get used to this! Let's keep it going!

A nice addition to yesterday. Very light and fwuffy.

And we're off! Hopefully. Rock-n-roll!

Furano Ski Resort is OPEN! [cue celebratory music]

And we're off! But we're not out of the woods yet.

Started snowing last night, and really kicked on this morning.

Another bit of snow last night.

Another very light dusting of snow overnight. It met the minimum 1 cm threshold, so I am obligated to tell you about it.
