First Winter Snow in Hungary

The first snow of the calendar winter fell in southwestern Hungary this Wednesday with more of this white cover expected in the region of the country's western border on Thursday.

Snow has come to the area from the west to towns like Nagykanizsa (see picture) in Zala county.

In its forecast, the National Meteorological Service wrote that snowfall is usually likely on the western border until Thursday afternoon, from which typically a blanket, four centimeters of snow may form, but in mountainous areas (like the Sopron Mountains in the northwest) more may fall. Except for the westernmost region of the country, the snow layer could already melt tomorrow, the Service told the Hungarian news agency MTI.
