Bulgaria's capital Sofia was surprised before noon on Thursday by its first major snowfall for the 2011-2012 winter.
Even though it snowed very briefly in Sofia in October, the weather in November, which used to be the time when it started snowing along Bulgaria's latitude, has been very warm, with 9 Bulgarian cities seeing record temperature highs two days ago – about 20 degrees Celsius.
Bulgaria's temperatures dropped to -3 / 2 degrees Celsius on Thursday, with strong gusts of northwestern wind.
Large parts of Northern, Central, and Eastern Bulgaria have declared a Code "Yellow" alert because of the hurricane-like winds, the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences announced.
