What do you mean by freezing? Literally? Where are you from and what are you comparing it to? Alaska? Florida? Yes it will be chilly (warming up a litle by the end of March)but not unbearable by my standards.

Is it below 32 degrees and windy? We are from the Midwest so I can take chilly without a problem but would want to do a lot of walking and if below 32 and windy I probably would be disappointed.

During three winters I was in Budapest, it never reached -20, either C. or F. Indeed, -10C was rare during the day (although last winter was reported to be rather colder than average).
But if 32 F is really your lower limit, skip February.

Thanks everyone for the great replies. Gate 1 has a 399.00 offer for Prague including airfare from my hometown and hotel for 4 nights and I could extend my days for no extra charge (except hotel) permitting me to travel to Budapest. However, with that kind of weather it might not be much fun. I'm sure the cold weather is the reason for the low rate.

We went to Prague last February...it was beautiful. Mid 30's-40.
Sunny...a dusting of snow. Hey, it's winter.
The glitch? We had to stay an extra day in Prague...blizzard in NY...JFK closed.
