It is unusually cold in Hodmezovasarhely. The last time people in Hodmezovasarhely experienced such cold was in 1987 and since then there was not so much snow either. It has been snowing from three days now, local schools are closed for two days and getting from one place to another has got quite difficult.
The temperature is around -10 Celsius (14 F) during the day and it is around -20 C (-4 F) at night. I would like to illustrate this weather in Hodmezovasarheyl with some photos.
It is not easy for animals either.

Although it is very cold and makes life unusually hard, it is beautiful. It's a shame there is no mountain outside Hodmezovasarhely.

Beautiful main square covered in snow. Not easy to get from one end of the square to the other but nice to look at.
