It is a grey drab day with overcast conditions above and light raining falling.

Furano has had a wintery blast from last weekend and there was a surprise snow fall of 5cm on Sunday and 2cm yesterday in the village.

Furano has been hit with a snow front that has deposited 6cm of nice fresh spring snow on the ground.

It is a perfect spring day with full sunshine bathing the resort. The sun is forecast to stay throughout the day, as are the blue skies.

The snow did arrive late yesterday afternoon and came down quite heavily for a few hours, accumulating on cars and the ground.
