At -10c it is a very brisk morning but in true Furano fashion the cold temperatures are accompanied by clear skies, and this morning that means views right across the city to the live volcano of Mt Tokachi. Amazing! The temperature is going to warm up though, and it will hit +2c around midday. The sun should be out for the morning but it may cloud over around midday and then winds are expected to increase during the day. Tomorrow, heavy rain and strong winds are on the radar, so it may be a case of a white but wet Christmas day. The good news is that after the rain has passed continuous snow is forecast for the rest of the new week. While there maybe no new snow this morning the views are going to make up for it...take your camera.
