Here’s a video my friend made from clips of us on the slopes up at Vitosha last weekend. I’m the snowboarder carrying the ski pole (while he films). It was a nice sunny day, and view from the slopes looks down on Sofia.
From Novinite:
With major thoroughfares in Bulgarian capital Sofia cleared, smaller streets remain snow-covered despite weather clearing.
The councillors say that only 3% of the streets in Sofia were properly cleaned.
Yes, this is in the capital. Not some remote mountainous village. Many streets remain buried and nearly impossible to drive. Additionally the invention of the snow shovel was never introduced to Bulgaria, so walk paths range from tiresome to treacherous for pedestrians (especially the elderly).

This photograph is from tonight, looking off into the abyss from our back balcony at what is, on a sunny day, a lovely view of Mt. Vitosha.
I love the snow. I grew up in California, so maybe I’m just not used to (loathing) it, but I love it. Silent. Beautiful. The world seems to move in slow motion, yet I feel doubly productive.
