Norm: When we received our call to the Hungary Budapest Mission we had no idea what to expect climate wise. We checked the atlas only to realize Hungary was on a similar latitude to Butte Montana. That did very little to ease our concerns as to what the winters would be like. Well now that we have been here coming on a year and a half and experiencing two winters in the south of Hungary, we feel that we have been blessed. This is grape growing country and is described as sub Mediterainian. To say it is much like the Napa California may be a bit of a stretch, but maybe comparable to the Carolinas or as the Matsons may agree, somewhat like Louisiana.
