\"Winter\"<\/p>\n

Between 23 and 25 November, large parts of Europe were hit by a powerful Arctic outbreak that brought widespread snowfall from the Balkans to Hungary, Poland and the Pyrenees. Transport networks stalled, mountain passes closed, and Meteoalarm<\/a> <\/strong>issued multiple alerts.<\/p>\n

Where the Snow Fell<\/h2>\n

Balkans<\/h3>\n

Heavy snow paralysed Sarajevo and caused red-level warnings in Croatia, where strong winds overturned vehicles and forced road closures.<\/p>\n

Hungary<\/h3>\n

Western Hungary saw 10\u201315 cm of snow, stranding buses and isolating several villages.<\/p>\n

Spain & the Pyrenees<\/h3>\n

Early alpine conditions brought sub-zero temperatures and increased avalanche danger above 1500 m.<\/p>\n

Central Europe<\/h3>\n

Poland recorded its first major snowfall of the season with widespread traffic disruption. Snow also reached western Ukraine.<\/p>\n
