Not Convinced On These Rain Reports

Many weather forecasts have predicted rain for Pamporovo over the next few days but I am not convinced.

The last time I stuck my neck out and forecasted heavy snow it came exactly as predicted. That's not supposed to be a boast - just a fact.

So, my latest prediction is for snow to arrive in Pamporovo tomorrow, sometime in the early evening and for the snow to continue on and off well into the weekend, with Friday probably being the least likely for any substantial amounts. By Monday I ...

So, my latest prediction is for snow to arrive in Pamporovo tomorrow, sometime in the early evening and for the snow to continue on and off well into the weekend, with Friday probably being the least likely for any substantial amounts. By Monday I expect to see all slopes open and quality skiing returning to Pamporovo.

re: Not Convinced On These Rain Reports

I hope your right, flying out Saturday aswell

rains obviously predicted because the temperatures arent that cold, but fingers crossed it still all falls as snow and is cold enough! at least from halfway up anyway

Will check the midcam later and the live snowshack pics to see whats what, should see this afternoon either way

Weather update...

Two days ago it snows in Sunny Beach and Nessebar.
Yesterday I cross half Bulgaria from Nessebar via Burgas and Kostentz to Samokov.

There is no snow lower than 1100m, so anyone arrives to Borovez you will see the snow just on the last 5 km. Now here in Samokov it is light rain and round about 10degreese. I will post you later how it was in Borovez, but the forecast was for 7 degreese and rain.

God you lot are pessimists. We don't care about what happens in the town, what about on the mountain at 1800m!?
