A hurricane will hit Bulgaria this weekend. The freezing wind will be the most severe along the Black Sea coastal areas where airports and ports will be closed. The Siberian cyclone will drastically influence the temperatures which will drop down to minus 18C. Record-breaking lows of minus 28 C are expected on the Moussala peak, TV-MET meteorologist Mincho Praznikov warned. The strong northerly winds will continue to rage until Monday.

In the Balkan mountains, the fogs will be dense, the winds will be freezing and the snow-drifts will be waist-deep.

The weather will warm up on Tuesday and the long awaited spring will arrive on March 8.

Blimey - I 'm glad I wasn't doing the Ski A Thong this weekend. Hope all travelling this weekend have a safe journey and that the forecasters are wrong Confused

But the skiing was fantastic because it had snowed the day before and it was powder everywhere, all of you that know the FonFon, just imagine it deep powder all the way down to the middle station.

Very Happy Very Happy. I stopped to take a photo but it was so cold the camera would not work, so you will have to imagine what it was like, FANTASTIC. Very Happy..

Kraig chill out man....

There is so much snow out there it would take months to melt...


So take a day off relax and look forward to a fab ski holiday with lovely sun,where you can sit in a deck chair outside a bar at 9,000ft and sit on a hot choc and brandy and work on your tan...
