There is a light breeze in the village this morning causing snow that has built up on the white birch trees to fall off occasionally, leaving a puff of powder in the air.

The sun is out on this very chilly -11c morning. Overnight there has been 11cm of new snow.

The sun is out today and sitting inside in the light of the sun sure feels warm.

There has been another good amount of snow overnight, this time amounting to 9cm.

It is snowing heavily here in Furano with monstrous snow flakes belting down as I write this.

It is a nice calm day with light overcast skies. Temperatures are a mild -3c at the moment and will warm up a little more than that during the middle of the day.

It was a reasonably nice day in Furano today with the sun around and light snow from morning until afternoon.

Looks like a good day outside with light overcast skies but the light of the sun visible behind.

There has been another good snowfall overnight with 18cm on the ground right here in the village.
