Winter Forecast 2013-14: Mild With An Occasional Chilly Ride

This is our eighth winter forecast here at Phillyweather.net -- we've produced a mixed bag of wintry results over the years -- some of them solid, others not-so-much. With the exception of temperatures in 2011-12, we've been pretty close to the mark in terms of getting that aspect of the forecast right. Snow is another story -- and we will say it time and again that snow is a wildcard on a seasonal basis.  Even "good" setups don't always produce.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrXgb0rNhBMn6Llb6stK3pQPOfxQqFvFVAEr3F9KF2kMMiGBa4p-48HyzEArVlm5UvnW7S9JSkGQiitanue1KC1I5-4BYumNHySpbu6mFuPP7XnrvGqMBHP0cm2ZjsCo5IeV3qoX-mRMjE/s1600/WINTERHISTORY.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrXgb0rNhBMn6Llb6stK3pQPOfxQqFvFVAEr3F9KF2kMMiGBa4p-48HyzEArVlm5UvnW7S9JSkGQiitanue1KC1I5-4BYumNHySpbu6mFuPP7XnrvGqMBHP0cm2ZjsCo5IeV3qoX-mRMjE/s400/WINTERHISTORY.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />We've seen a general tendency for a more amplified pattern take over from September on and we feel that we will see that continue through the winter. Amplified does not necessary result in a cold and snow scenario for us but we will likely see periods of warmth followed by periods of cool, rinse and repeat.  Without the influence of blocky weather (NAO, AO) setting up shop, cold may be more fleeting than entrenched. It is winter -- it will get cold -- but the magnitude of chill this winter may not be on the order of what we dealt with in late January into February last year.<br /><br />Most of the indicators out there lean warm -- even if a Nino does develop, it may not develop in time to "save" winter for the snow starved nor set up in a position ideal to help influence a colder pattern for the eastern half of the United States.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW2IYU6ijAia4o-ebgbTl9GqIaLbOJA-07zqDpVDnC3NWQUeVAmVYnxdFX8Yxwb5D4EEbcipaDH6egfCqjhpf4N5wl764ICDL_AIMOhIzYPoKHN38EuvLV-NRS55lyShJ9zEQBFUSSkPJ7/s1600/WINTERFOR1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW2IYU6ijAia4o-ebgbTl9GqIaLbOJA-07zqDpVDnC3NWQUeVAmVYnxdFX8Yxwb5D4EEbcipaDH6egfCqjhpf4N5wl764ICDL_AIMOhIzYPoKHN38EuvLV-NRS55lyShJ9zEQBFUSSkPJ7/s400/WINTERFOR1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>The best comparison winters out there -- from a Nino/Nina/neutral standpoint, to October temperatures, combined with similar Arctic Oscillation tendencies -- are last winter and 2001-2002. Neither of them were good from a snow or cold standpoint. It doesn't mean we won't be cold at all during winter -- I think the amplified pattern in place allows for *some* colder periods that last longer than others (the holidays into early January is our best guess for when that takes place).<br /><br />On the whole, we think it will be a milder winter...on the order of at least a degree, perhaps a degree and a half above average (36.3-36.8 degree range, average is 35.3). Warmest periods to average are probably the first three weeks of December and the last two weeks of February.<br /><br />In terms of snowfall, we lean below average (21.8" is average) with our projection of 14 to 19 inches for Philadelphia. Most of the region should see slightly below average snowfall, with the Poconos closest overall to average as they get into the lower 50's on snowfall. The best time frame for snow looks to be in the middle and latter portions of January, a little earlier than our historical "peak" for snow. This would time roughly with us getting out of our colder look that sets up near the holidays.<br /><br />Snowfall in Philadelphia a wildcard, as usual, so snowfall seasonal predictions should be taken with larger grains of salt than temperature predictions.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUXVy_eNyZQmmA04lYslwDWmu7uHk8PTuAf6F7mPD6sA_KtCt4-d4VrgC295DQYpX9axwD2CGRE_iKp_32sspCZSQZxqmCRU2s9ojOIGz2SGgSOg3UbwBkRwO6c2lsBNbRKHWRwwjmZEB-/s1600/WINTERFOR2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUXVy_eNyZQmmA04lYslwDWmu7uHk8PTuAf6F7mPD6sA_KtCt4-d4VrgC295DQYpX9axwD2CGRE_iKp_32sspCZSQZxqmCRU2s9ojOIGz2SGgSOg3UbwBkRwO6c2lsBNbRKHWRwwjmZEB-/s400/WINTERFOR2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />That said, warmer years do usually correlate to less snow (there are exceptions, of course!). Given the odds of a relatively milder winter, the "safe" play is to go with less snow than average based on the odds.<br /><br />With that said, if we do get ten inches of snow, it would be more than last winter. Twelve gets us more than the last two winters combined.  Philadelphia hasn't gone three winters with less than ten inches of snow since the early 1930's. Historically, such odds are tough to pull off...but are worth noting here in case we end up in a rarefied spot for winter.

There's a new family with five little ones in the neighborhood ... will they trick-or-treat?<br /><br />Our busiest year was a dozen children ... last year we only had three. Previous trick-or-treaters have grown up, married, and have children of their own. The SWAC Children are grown up and gone, too ... this is our second year handing out treats without SWAC Daughter.<br /><br />This year we have an assortment of miniature Hershey candy: Snickers, Reese Peanut Butter Cups, Malted Milk Balls, Peanut Butter Snickers ... and, of course, M&Ms!

Mom was standing in the yard so we chatted while the Ninjas swung swords in the dark. We sent candy with her for the older daughter at home handing out candy to trick-or-treaters ... treats for all!<br /><br /><b>7:15:</b> One little fella all by himself, adorable, about 4 years old, dressed as a deer. "Twick-or-Tweet," he said shyly and held out his pumpkin. What a cutie! I dropped the goodies inside and we said hello to his mom and wished them Happy Halloween. Treats for all!<br /><br />8:40: We closed the door, turned out the porch light, and put away the candy. Halloween 2013 comes to an end.</div>

And the CEOs of those corporations can spend your money however they wish on politics -- without telling you.<br /><br />Since the Supreme Court's 2010 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._Federal_Election_Commission">Citizens United decision</a>, corporations have been pouring millions of dollars into shadowy groups to influence elections. In the 2012 election, up to $400 million was funneled into these "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_money">dark money</a>" groups -- that's 500 percent more than in the previous presidential election before Citizens United.<br /><br />More often than not, that corporate money is being spent to elect anti-worker candidates to public office.<br /><br />A <a href="http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2013/06/17/the-sec-and-dark-political-money/" rel="nofollow">new SEC rule being considered</a> would require publicly traded companies to disclose to shareholders the corporate funds spent on political campaigns.<br /><br />Supporters of the new rule, led by <a href="http://www.citizen.org/Page.aspx?pid=183">Public Citizen</a>, held an event in Washington yesterday where Sen. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Warren" rel="nofollow">Elizabeth Warren</a> (D-Mass.) <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/30/elizabeth-warren-corporate-disclosure_n_4179098.html?utm_hp_ref=politics" rel="nofollow">urged the SEC to shine a light on the "dark money"</a> spent by corporations:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">We don't have to have legislation for the SEC to do the right thing. They have the power to do the right thing right now. There is no reason for saying a corporation wants to be able to spend shareholders' money and not tell shareholders how that money is being spent.</blockquote>Advocates for transparency in corporate political spending are also supporting the <a href="https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/113/s824">Shareholder Protection Act</a>, legislation introduced by Sen. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Menendez" rel="nofollow">Robert Menendez</a> (D-N.J.) to force the SEC to enact a political disclosure rule. Menendez was also at yesterday's event and said the SEC does not need the legislation to write the new rule now.<br /><br /><div> Law professor Ciara Torres-Spelliscy wrote in the <em><a href="http://www.latimes.com/opinion/commentary/la-oe-torres-corporate-funding-politics-20131030,0,5258845.story#axzz2j8kHEJIQ" rel="nofollow">Los Angeles Times</a></em>:</div><blockquote class="tr_bq">There is no rule at the SEC that requires public companies to tell their shareholders what they are up to in partisan elections. </blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">If the law of the land allows corporations to spend unlimited money on politics, investors deserve to know when, why and how much.</blockquote><div></div><div>As the <a href="http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2013/10/29/sec-poised-to-improve-political-spending-transparency/" rel="nofollow">Sunlight Foundation observes</a>, the recent government shutdown was just one symptom of the dysfunction sewn by the dark money infecting DC -- all in the interests of right-wing fanatics and their corporate sponsors: </div><blockquote class="tr_bq">Not all that ails our democracy can be blamed on the Supreme Court decision in the Citizens United case, but $1.2 billion in spending by outside groups—at least $300 million of that from undisclosed donors—doesn’t help create a working democracy.</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">Legislation such as the <a href="http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2012/02/09/house-democrats-introduce-disclose-2012/">DISCLOSE</a> Act is still the best chance at comprehensive disclosure of all dark money. But an SEC rule will result in greater accountability by companies that decide to spend money on politics, it will inform investors about how a company spends its profits, and it will help the public identify the messenger behind many of the political ads they see.</blockquote><div>A new SEC rule wouldn't solve all of our problems. It probably won't even reduce corporate political spending all that much. But it would be a nice change from the secrecy that shrouds political spending. </div><div></div><div>And it will give us a chance to hold CEOs accountable when they spend money on politicians who attack working people.</div>

style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>The UA's first building, Old Main has since 1891 served as the "front porch" of the UA, and it holds special significance for generations of Wildcat alumni and campus community members. Earlier this month, the University announced a $13.5 million Save Old Main fundraising campaign to restore the beloved building to its original grandeur, launching the website <a href="http://www.saveoldmain.org/" target="_blank"><b>www.saveoldmain.org</b></a> and the Twitter hashtag #saveoldmain.</b></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>But as the iconic Old Main undergoes the most comprehensive renovation in its history, some construction crew members are reporting ghostly goings-on.</b></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>"I can't say I've seen anything, but I've heard some weird stuff as far as creaking and cracking," said Fred Briscoe, senior project manager with Sundt Construction. "We joke quite a bit that we're making Carlos mad."</b></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>The Carlos he's referring to is Carlos Maldenado, who is said to have been murdered while supervising the construction of Old Main in 1888.</b></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>The legend of Carlos is detailed online at <a href="http://www.uofamystery.org/" target="_blank"><b>www.uofamystery.org</b></a>, a website not affiliated with the University.</b></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>The story goes that Carlos often spent the night at Old Main while it was being built, chatting with members of local Indian tribes who stopped by to check out the project and keeping watch over the building, which some locals were not happy to see being constructed.</b></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>One morning, Carlos's construction crew members arrived to find their beloved boss sitting in a wooden chair with a large knife stuck in his throat.
