At the time of posting the report yesterday it looked as if the snowfall was done for the day, however I could not have been more wrong.

Soon after yesterday's report the snow changed to rain, and it rained moderately through the afternoon.

The snow continues! Light snow continued through yesterday and it is still snowing.

Snow news is good news and I have just been out and measured 10cm of fresh snow which fantastic.

Yesterday was a bit of an extreme weather event with strong winds for the whole afternoon.

Temperatures have headed south from the low teens that we have had recently. It is currently a chilly +2c at 8am, but the high will only go to around +5c.

Now that the season is over it has given me time to reflect and sum up how things panned out in 2016/17.

It is 19c right now and that will be the maximum for the day, which is not quite a warm as yesterdays 25c.

Cool temperatures have once again brought some unexpected snow to the village.

It was pretty surprising to look out of the window this morning and see the village painted white yet again!

What a day it turned out to be yesterday with heavy snowfalls and cold temperatures staying with Furano for the entire day.

We have awoke this morning to a heavy snowfall blanketing all roads, gardens, roofs and anything else exposed.

Looking up at Kitanomine the grassy areas have been coated in white this morning.

Chilly is the feeling of the morning with just +1c in the village right now, and the day high expected to be +8c.
