As had been anticipated, the harshest days of this polar wave began in San Juan, and the departments of San Juan adjacent to the mountain range were covered in white due to an intense snowfall that began to fall this Thursday. The videos filmed in one of the mining camps in the province are shocking.
From the local National Highway delegation they shared a series of videos that show the magnitude of the snowfall that began to fall in the mountain areas of San Juan. Specifically, the film archive was recorded in the Los Azules project camp in the Calingasta department.
In turn, from the distribution they reported that both that commune and the Iglesia department are being affected by this impressive climate phenomenon. For this reason, they recommended traveling with extreme caution on routes 149 (El Leoncito) and 436 (El Colorado) due to accumulation of snow and ice on the road.
It is worth noting that the forecast of the National Meteorological Service (SMN) foresees that these heavy snowfalls will be present in the departments of Calingasta, Iglesia, Jáchal, Ullum, Zonda, Sarmiento and Pocito, which is why it activated an alert for those sectors. In addition, rain and showers are expected in Greater San Juan throughout the day.
