Weather Forecasts - Forget Them

In 15 years of visiting the ski resorts of Bulgaria and glancing at weather forecasts, I have yet to see one that has been remotely accurate.

Reports like 30cms of snow disappear overnight and snow arrives when none is forecast.

I'll go back about 4 years when the lead-up to my holiday was grim. Reports from the 'experts' said the snow was not good and conditions were stated as no better than fair.

When we arrived - expecting the worst, we were greeted with some of the best snow ...

When we arrived - expecting the worst, we were greeted with some of the best snow conditions I can ever remember and we had a brilliant week.

If you need to follow anybody, listen to Benson as he has proved over many times to be very accurate in his reports.

But as for the websites - nahh - just ignore them because they are naff.

I know what you mean Pete. When I was in Momchil/Pamps the forecast was for light flurries and we ended up with about 2.5 feet of snow in Momchil. It was beautiful. My first winter in BG.

A Very Happy x

Its funny how its snowed loads the last week & yet the snow cover report still shows 90cm. It looks a lot deeper this week than last.
Who updates them?
