Winter has Finally Arrived to Cafayate

After mild temperatures, a polar front finally cools things off

Even though winter officially began in mid June, Cafayate has continued to experience spring like conditions with warm sunny days and cool evening temperatures.  However, this past week winter officially arrived to Cafayate bringing below freezing temperatures to the entire region.  Winters in Salta are generally very short, however this season in particular has been extremely mild. The cold temperatures brought on excitement for many who put on their wool hats and gloves and winter parkas and sparked up the fireplace to stay warm.  The Andes were blessed with a slight covering of snow that didn’t last long when the Cafayate sun came out to melt it all away.

Luego de temperaturas moderadas, una ola polar nos congelo a todos

A pesar de que el invierno empezó en Junio, Cafayate tuvo varios días con mucho sol durante el día y fresco durante la noche. Pero el invierno llego oficialmente la semana pasada, con temperaturas de bajo cero en toda la región. Los inviernos en Salta son muy cortos, pero esta temporada ha sido bastante templada. A pesar del frío la gente está muy contenta, sacaron sus abrigos y encendieron sus hogares a leña. Los Andes se tiñeron de blanco, pero la nieve no duro demasiado ya que el sol de Cafayate la derritió rápidamente.
