Hurricane MATTHEW might go right between Haiti and Cuba and into the Bahamas, first landfall hurricane of the season and very late in the season, too. West to get early taste of winter with pattern change as snow falls in the Sierras and Rockies. US winter forecast: Frequent snow to blast Northeast; Freeze may damage citrus crop in South as things cool down drastically from last year’s evil warm fall. Didn’t we all hate that warm fall…yup.
