April Snow for Skiing on the Mátra Hill

It is snowing on the Mátra Hill in northeastern Hungary, making the ski path in Mátraszentistván suitable for for sking and snowboarding

The weather in the mountains is surprisingly wintery. Around two o'clock this Saturday afternoon, the skipark in Mátraszentistván posted a video on its community website about the intense snow fall.

The area is more than 800 meters above sea level, so it is not surprising that the temperature there is 6-7 degrees lower than the national average.

It could have been known before that a cold front would arrive from Sunday, even producing below-zero temperature at dawn. From Tuesday, meteorologists predicted more rain, either sleet or snow.
