 * I would like to change the date format that the Archive widget outputs.
 * Currently it like this
    **December 2013**
 * and I would like just
    **Dec 2013**
 * Any hooks or filters? I can seem to find any info on this other then rolling 
   my own.

 * Rolling your own isn’t a half bad idea compared to the necessary kludge. The 
   filter is ‘get_archives_link’, your callback is passed the HTML link and text
   of each item in the list, one at a time. You have to search and replace all the
   months that could be in the link text.
 * This process will be applied to all calls to `get_archives_link()`, not just 
   widget calls. If you do not want the same filter applied elsewhere, you need 
   to figure out a way to detect widget calls from other calls.
