Heavy snowfall, strong winds cause road mayhem near Bourgas - report


Heavy snowfall and strong winds have created havoc along the coast of Bulgaria, particularly near Bourgas, where snowdrifts have buried and stranded vehicles, and rescue services are struggling to free them, Dnevnik daily reported.

The harshest conditions are reported near the village of Mirolyubivo, near Kableshkovo, where large swathes of the road are currently impassable, Bulgarian news agency BTA reported on February 25 2011.

Several snowploughs are deployed on the scene but the process is difficult because of the strong winds. The Civil Protection Service has managed to extract three vehicles from the wall of snow, but several others are still stuck.

The road is not likely to be completely cleared and opened to traffic before the winds subside, the report said, quoting local authorities.

Because of the excessive snow, the Trakia Motorway between Bourgas and Karnobat is closed for traffic, the Road Infrastructure Agency reported. The detour is through Karnobat – Aitos – Bourgas.

Light snow is expected in most parts of the country and temperatures will vary from -3C in the north to 8C in Sandanski on the south west. Average for Bulgaria will be at about -2C, and 0C for Sofia, weather reports said.

Over the weekend, temperatures will drop further, as low as -10C for Sofia, although no further snowfall is expected.

here in the north east is bitterly cold, light snow fall nothing to worry about but bitter cold right now. :Snow window:
