Visibility is also limited in the areas affected by the snowfall, which is why traffic is slowing down significantly, according to the transport authorities.
The south-eastern two-thirds of the country is forecast to receive another 5-15cm of snow by midnight, with HungaroMet Zrt. issuing a second-degree (orange) warning for Baranya and Bács-Kiskun counties for today.
Temperatures are expected to remain below freezing except in the eastern regions, so the snow will set in and roads may freeze.
In the southern parts of the country, more than 20 cm of fresh snow may fall by Wednesday morning, with 20-30cm accumulating.
A strong north-westerly wind may result in snowdrifts, mainly in areas to the west of the Danube.
The second wave of snowfall is expected to hit Budapest in the afternoon on Tuesday, according to idokep.hu. By Thursday morning, the snow cover in the capital is expected to surpass 15 cm.
