In Bulgaria, a homeless man froze to death in early winter due to freezing temperatures. He was found lifeless by garbage bins in Kazanlak, central Bulgaria, Nova television reported on Sunday. Due to snow chaos with strong winds, more than 1,000 places in the Balkan country had to do without electricity this weekend.
In the capital Sofia, the power supply was also interrupted in the southern parts of the city due to damaged cables, Bulgarian media reported. Northeastern Bulgaria was hardest hit by snowfall and drifts, which were unusually intense for November. Four regions declared a state of emergency.
Numerous air traffic delays
Country roads were reportedly impassable due to all the snow. Broken branches blocked the roads in many places. Passenger trains from the Black Sea city of Varna to Sofia stopped due to damaged power lines.
Important passes in the Balkan Mountains were temporarily completely closed to traffic. Several international flights have been canceled at Varna airport. The planes took off late from Sofia airport. (SDA)
