The First Snowfall in Sofia and the Mountains The mountain regions in Bulgaria are enjoying the first snowfall for the year. A slim snow cover has been reported in western and northern Bulgaria and the mountains. Tvarditsa-Elena and Etropole-Zlatitsa passes have been closed due to poor weather conditions. Thursday will bring scattered rain showers throughout Bulgaria. The lowest temperatures - between 0 and 5 C - will be recorded in Northeastern Bulgaria and in the plains at higher altitudes. Temperatures are expected to start rising as early as Friday with highs set at between 7 and 10C. The weather forecasters have warned that Bulgarians should brace themselves for a colder-than-usual winter, with temperatures rarely above the freezing point between December and February.
