Heavy snow across North and Western Bulgaria has caused traffic delays and has bought much of the capital Sofia to a halt as traffic jams have built up in the city center.
The Sofia Municipality has reported that most of the public transport lines in the city are being delayed by up to 1 hour and even with the ongoing winter cleaning efforts drivers reported problems across the city with uncleaned roads and ice. Huge traffic jams in the center of Sofia have bought many people to a halt.
Bulgarian traffic police reported over 150 accidents in Sofia because of the icy conditions on Tuesday morning.
Meanwhile fewer problems are reported elsewhere in the country with all the main highways reported to be open and free of snow.
The cold front is set to reach South and Central Bulgaria later in the day but rain is forecast there as temperatures are expected to rise on Tuesday.
