Officially, winter began in Bulgaria, as the winter solstice, marking the year's shortest day and longest night, occurred in Bulgaria around 7:30 am local time on Thursday.
The heavy snowfall that has been covering Southern Bulgaria under the early hours of the day is expected to spread to the northern parts of the country. The Southeastern Bulgarian town of Smolyan has already seen a blanket of snow reaching 10-15 cm, the Bulgarian National Radio informs.
Intensive snowfall is expected in Southern Bulgaria on Thursday, according to the country's National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology.
The winter solstice in the northern hemisphere comes when the sun hits its southernmost point and begins its six-month journey north, meaning days start becoming longer.
Depending on the shift of the calendar, the event of the winter solstice takes place sometime between December 20 and 23 each year in the Northern hemisphere.
