as I have family and friends flying over on the 18th december i am concerned the airports might shut at both ends , which would be awful. .

:Xmas3:Oddy

But I think Bulgaria is in for a hard winter, stay warm starlite

im doing this gimp, :Snow window:
just rang my friends in leeds. its snowing but not serious yet, they drive to luton saturday. all being well.

Tell them to be carful there will be a lot of hidden ice about

its not looking good, going by the weather forecast, the next 2 days in the uk and bulgaria is pretty dire, the airports are struggling already with delays, and i cant get out to do the airport pickups just now. keep us updated as to how you are coping. not good by the looks of it.

At least they are doing some road clearing and sanding in Balchik, so we may be able to get around a bit later today, but that remains to be seen. It's not snowing now, so things may improve if it stays that way.

still snowing, winds causing drifting, i wont be going out yet. :C:

Still snowing here, with a light wind, so some drifting. 10 day weather forecast shows it warming up from Sunday, so lets hope for once it is right

Still snowing in Balchik with severe winds and drifting - snow up to a metre deep in place. Virtually no cars on the road except 4 x 4s. Taxis running only in the very centre. As might be expected, all sanding and road clearing has stopped, just like last year.

There have already been cancelled flights with the 7.20am BG Airways flight to Sofia being the first casuality
A report from the Airport say's that Varna Airport teams are working non-stop to try and keep the runway clear
Luton Airport is OK at present

oops, just seen sofia airport is closed for now. that will cause a backlog. this is not good for people going away for christmas.

:Howdy:Whoopeeeeeee ........ the sun is shining Maybe they have got it right .....

Eastern Bulgaria Snowed Under

Environment

Four districts in Eastern Bulgaria have declared a "
Code Orange"
situation amidst heavy snowfall and strong winds continuing for a second day in a row.

The districts of Varna, Dobrich, and Silistra in the Northeast, and Burgas in the Southeast have issued warnings to the population using Code Orange, which signifies "
dangerous weather"
and is second in degree of alert, behind Code Red ("
extremely dangerous"
).

Major roads have been closed and a number of villages and towns in the Eastern part of the country saw their electricity and water supply cut off at various times of the day.

The snow cover in the northeastern Dobrich District has already reached 1 meter.

The Black Sea municipalities of Balchik, Kavarna, and Shabla are in the most dire situation.

The authorities have urged all drivers to be extremely careful.
