Kristin Hayes would love it to snow at the Northland family farm again but she doesn't think it's cold enough yet.
In July 2011 snow fell in Jones Rd, near the Tutamoe Settlement, where Mrs Hayes' husband's family have lived since 1959.
But despite a cold snap due to blanketsouthern and eastern regions of the North and South Islands over the next few days, Mrs Hayes thinks the weather is too mild for snow to fall in Tutamoe.
"I'd love it to happen again but it's too mild.
"Leading up to it last time we had quite a bit of a colder spell then and it hasn't been that cold lately."
MetService meteorologist Ciaran Doolinsaid there is some ugly weather in store for Northland but it's not cold enough for frost.
"Northland will probably wake up to fairly abysmal weather. [Today] the forecast is scattered showers turning to rain in the morning with heavy and thundery falls possible with westerlies changing to southerlies in the afternoon.
