Apparently Eastern Europe has been experiencing a big freeze in recent weeks and hundreds of deaths have been attributed to the extreme cold weather. Here in Hungary, however, things haven't seemed especially chilly. Temperatures have typically been around -10 degrees Celcius each day, but there hasn't been any fresh snow for almost two weeks :(
So, when our school's principal warned us to stay indoors and keep ourselves warm this weekend as the town was expecting 20cm of snowfall, Daniel and I were pretty cynical. But then yesterday afternoon it started snowing, just a few flakes at first, but it grew steadily as the evening wore on. This morning we woke up to find a decent blanket of snow covering our yard. Judging by the layer of snow on our verandah railing, I'd say about 10cm of snow has fallen over the last 24 hours.
We're hoping for at least that much again tonight so that we can make our first snowman of the season tomorrow.
