^^Clearly a distinctive way way to say it.^^ :-)
I believe Nature is going to throw them a curve ball. Weather patterns for the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere are getting interesting. With the sudden winter pounce in Australia, and the Northern Hemisphere coming off of a record Winter & Precipitation (in parts), the flip side may be coming. An abnormally high heat average for N. Hemisphere with abnormally low temperature average for S. Hemisphere.
If this develops, quickly, any accelerated Sierra snowpack melt would be anomalous and unplanned for in the construction "windows".

Article: Australia 2017: After heatwave, summer snow and coldest February in a decade.
Article clip:
"An unseasonal cold front, moving north out of the Southern Ocean, brought chilly, squally winds and strong showers to coastal regions of Victoria on February 19 and 20, 2017, and about 5 to 10 cm (2 - 4 inches) of summer snow to the NSW and Victorian High Country, Australia. However, the summer is still not over, as hot and windy conditions are expected back in the region on Wednesday, February 22, bringing severe to extreme fire danger over much of Victoria."
