As temperatures continue to fluctuate, the local population remains vigilant, coping with the challenges posed by the harsh weather while also looking forward to the benefits that a well-sustained winter might bring.
As the valley faces a long winter ahead, it will be essential for residents and authorities alike to adapt and prepare for the impacts of climate phenomena like La Niña, and to remain aware of the delicate balance between environmental conditions and economic opportunities.
