The damage experienced so far does not seem to be on the same level as Southland and South Otago.
But Alpine Blooms owner Vera Yakzhik said that she spent all of yesterday preparing for further cold weather after snow dusted her farm near Wānaka.
MetService is forecasting a -3°C start to today, yet Miss Yakzhik said she could not "really" prepare too much for the cold and part of her work remained guesswork.
"Like any other farmer I guess you just go with what comes," she said.
"I don’t have frost alarms or anything, so that’s just intuition in that sense"
Last year around this time she recalled waking at 2am when it was already too late and frost had settled on the ground.
The storm last week had not caused any major losses but flower stems might have weakened.
Last night’s low might have greater impacts, she said.
At Wānaka’s Maude Wines, the vineyard had also escaped the worst of the storm.
However, the woman who answered the phone said the coming cold weather was a concern.
If necessary, a helicopter would be used to blow warmer air on to the vines.
They had a helicopter on standby, but had not had to use it yet, she said.
Meanwhile, sheep and beef farmers in the Upper Clutha yesterday said they were relieved to have avoided the worst of the storm which ravaged their peers further south.
Several farmers spoken to by the ODT yesterday said the effects of the storm on their farms were minimal.
Alpha Burn Station owner Duncan McRae said there were "no major impacts" on his farm.
However, further south thousands were still without power yesterday after last week’s storm.
The Southland and Clutha districts both declared a state of emergency.
Dairy farmers were disposing of thousands of litres of milk they could not keep chilled.
Fences and trees were downed.
And farmers questioned whether the government’s relief fund of $150,000 would cover their costs.
MetService meteorologist Don Barry said from Monday night to yesterday morning Wānaka received 5cm of snow — "a healthy amount".
Last night’s forecast low was 7°C lower than average for this time of year in the Upper Clutha.
Locals could expect minimal risk of severe weather this coming week and even hints of summer for this weekend, he said.
