Power disruptions continued in Békés, Hajdú-Bihar, and Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok counties, the authority said.
Poor weather conditions also caused delays in train services around Hungary, with delays reported from forty-eight lines, it added.
The disaster management authority has been alerted 430 times since Saturday and further snow is forecast by the weather service.
Fire services were alerted to remove trees and branches fallen under the weight of the snow and rescue vehicles that had slipped off icy roads.
