Military tanks were mobilized to help people trapped after massive snowfall blocked scores of vehicles on Hungary's roads.
T-72 battle tanks trundled along icy roads, while thousands of people waited in cars on the M1 motorway from Budapest to Vienna, writes the BBC.

In Hungary, snow drifts reaching 1 m were observed, with winds gusting at 100 km/h.
