Intense snowfall expected in Hungary: up to 30 centimetres can fall
The heaviest snowfall of this winter is expected to come by Thursday in Hungary. By Wednesday evening, many parts of the country will be covered in white. In the Bakony Mountains, we can expect a snow cover of more than 30 centimetres!
According to Index, a precipitation zone will arrive over the Transdanubian region from midday on Wednesday. It will start with rain, and from the evening onwards, it will be replaced by snow and sleet in the western part of the Transdanubian region and around Budapest. From late evening, snow is likely in the western border areas.
Until Wednesday evening, most snow is expected to fall in the Bakony-Mecsek line, with 5-15 centimetres in flat areas. However,
snow layers of 20-30 centimetres may also develop in the Somogy Hills and the Transdanubian Mountains, as well as in the Bakony,
the National Meteorological Service said in its forecast.
Snowfall could continue until midday on Thursday, with several more centimetres of fresh snow expected. Persistent snowfall is expected in the western and north-western parts of the country, and the snow cover may persist in these areas, according to Időkép.
Until Thursday morning, 10-20 cm of fresh snow could fall in the Transdanubian region. In the Bakony Mountains, snow cover of up to 30 centimetres is expected.

I see a nice stack of pallets in one of the photos. I am assuming that in Hungary like here in the NA that people are building furniture and raised bed gardens, fencing for decoration or compost piles out of them to repurpose. I know 2 people who take them apart, then cut them into shorter pcs, split them each and sell them in standard sized tied up bundles at the end of their driveways in a little shed open at the front. The public buy for starting fires at home….$6 a bundle usually. You put the money into a closed container with a hole in it. Take your bundle. I buy bird houses like that from some house I often pass. The man displays them on a large T he has at the end of his lawn to show the 5 colours. Then you drive into the driveway, go in the backyard and there under a roof he has the ones available. You choose your colours, put the $10 bill into a thin slot that he created at the lower edge of a window to his garage. The birdhouses are all the same size because the pallet wood is usually standard too. Illegal to take the blue pallets, those go back to the company.
