In the Sofia region, residents of the capital's Dragalevtsi district, the villages of Kiliite, Simeonovo-Dragalevtsi and Yarema, and the villages of Vladaya, Plana, Pasarel, Zheleznitsa and Bistritsa have been without electricity since yesterday due to heavy snowfall.

The town of Samokov and the ski resort of Borovets are also without power, and the resort will remain closed until at least midday today.

Parts of Botevgrad and Vratsa and the municipalities of Lovech, Ugarchin, Lukovit, Yablanitsa, Teteven, Apriltsi and Troyan are also without power. Electricity is expected to be restored by midday.

The snowfall has also caused problems for rail transport. Traffic is temporarily suspended between Tsareva Livada and Gabrovo stations due to fallen branches and a lack of voltage in the power grid.
