According to the month-

ly climatology report fromthe National Weather Ser-

vice Forecast Ofce inNorth Webster, Indiana,

December 2013 was yet

another abnormally cold

month, with elevated levels

of precipitation. Given the

recent heavy snowfall and

the subzero wind chills, it

may be a distant memory

that the month actually be-

gan mildly, with high tem-peratures in the 40s and

50s for the rst ve days.The highest temperature of

the month was 59 on both

the fourth and fth. Thisoccurred ahead of a strong

arctic cold front, whichhelped establish the very

cold air for much of the re-mainder of December.

Average daily tempera-

tures between the 6th and18th were all below nor-

mal, and six of these dayshad temperatures at least

ten degrees below normal.Temperatures did moder-

ate briey from the 19thto the 22nd but this periodalso experienced moderate

to heavy rainfall, which re-sulted in moderate ooding

across the local area. Over

half of the monthly precipi-tation fell during this peri-

od, with 1.56 inches occur-ring on the 21st, breaking a

Fort Wayne record for pre-cipitation on this date.

The average tempera-

ture for December was 27.4degrees, which was 1.7 de-

grees below normal. Thisranked as the 37th coldest

December on record. Thecoldest temperature of the

month was -4 degrees on

the 12th, but look for theArctic air that has been

sliding into the NorthernPlains from Canada to be-

gin punching south andeast before the end of the

second week of January.

Having spent several yearsas a Wisconsin resident

I know cold. This is go-ing to be a spell that rivals

the winters of Cheesehead,USA.

Words and clichs used

to describe the upcomingdeep freeze are as old as the

hills, but thanks to the Ca-nadian Broadcasting Com-

pany, we now have a 21st

century spin on the deepfreeze to come. As the CBC

reported on December 31,It doesn't get much more

While both the nation and the statehave seen overall improvements in unem-

ployment rates over the last year, Ohiosrates have not enjoyed as much improve-

ment as the nation as a whole as seen. Ac-

cording to statistics released by the OhioDepartment of Job and Family Services at

the end of December, Ohio lost 12,000 jobsin November of this last year. This repre-

sents the largest over-the-month decreaseof jobs in the nation and puts Ohios over

the year growth at 0.4 percent. The nation,

in comparison, has shown an increase of1.7% over the same amount of time.

Despite the loss of jobs that Ohio sawover the month of November, the states

unemployment rate dropped from 7.5% in

October to 7.4% in November as Ohios la-bor force grew. Whether or not this is a

positive sign or a negative sign of growthis difcult to discern as the number of un-

employed workers in Ohio remained un-changed at 427,000 between October and

November. Nationally, the unemployment

rate fell to 7.0%, once again showing Ohioas not meeting the national average.

With all other employment categoriesfor the most part cancelling each other in

terms of jobs lost and jobs gained, the ma-jority of the jobs lost over the month can

be accounted for in the 12,200 jobs lost

in the leisure and hospitality industry.Other categories seeing decline were con-

struction (-3600), professional and busi-ness services (-1800), nancial activities

(-1300), other services (-800), and informa-tion (-600).

Industries showing growth include edu-

cational and health services (+4200); trade,transportation and utilities (+3000); and

manufacturing (+500). Government em-ployment saw gains in state government

(+500) and federal government (+300) that

exceed the losses in local government jobs(-200). Mining and logging employment re-

mained unchanged over the month.

Counties across Ohio saw unemploy-ment rates ranging from a low of 4.4%

in Mercer County to a high of 15.6% inMonroe County. Those counties with the

lowest rates in November included Mercer(4.4%), Holmes (4.9%), Auglaize (5.1%),

Delaware (5.2%), and Union (5.4%). Coun-

ties with the highest rates included Mon-roe (15.6%), Meigs (12.3%), Pike (12.1%),

Scioto (11.2%), and Ottawa (11.1%).Both Williams and Fulton County fell

relatively close to the middle of this range

with Fulton County seeing a decrease from7.4% to 7.2% over the course of the month

and Williams County improving to meetthe national average of 7.0%. In compari-

son to the rest of the state, both Williamsand Fulton County saw substantial growth

as Fulton County rose from 36th to 45thamong the states 88 counties and Williams

county improved from 45th to 52nd.

FULTON COUNTY SHERIFF

Sheriff Roy E. Miller announces

that the Fulton County SheriffsOfce conducted 60 hours of a

High Visibility Blitz in December

of 2013. Deputies who work this

Blitz on various dates and times

during the month of December

made 65 trafc stops and issued

9 citations. The citations were is-

sued for speed violations, stop

sign violation, expired plates, pos-

session of marijuana, and for op-

erating a vehicle while impaired

(OVI). The High Visibility Blitz is

paid from a grant that the Sheriffs

Ofce has received from the Ohio

Department of Public Safety.

Sheriff Miller and his deputies

are dedicated to protecting the

citizens of Fulton County and the

motorists who travel its highways.

This grant allows extra patrol to

enforce the trafc laws that will

increase the safety of motorists on

the roadway in the areas that are

prone to a higher number of seri-

ous and fatal crashes.
