UPDATE #2 – Even more records have been broken.
UPDATE: I also have a blog post on the LOW MAX records.
1913 Low Min Records Broken in Last 7 Days (272 tied) according to the NOAA.
Below is a screenshot showing location and the biggest difference between old record and new record.
The list is just the ones I could capture in a screenshot. Wow. Many records broken by over 30F.
Oooops: I initially used C/Decade. It is F/Decade.And I have to check the Trend.
Update: The trend is correct once I corrected the units.
Update: Here is a link to NOAA for California. Ohio is doing the opposite since 1998.

A rank of 121 in Oregon indicates the warmest (since NOAA records started in 1895). This data is Maximum temperature average for the month..
On the other hand, a rank of 30 indicates 91 January’s were warmer.

Using Tmax, 2014 was 2.41F Colder Than December 1934 and 3.34F colder than December 2012.
Using Tmax, December 2014 was 3.15F Colder Than December 1939.
Even December 1896 was warmer than December 2014. Warm Decembers are pretty spread out over the last 120 years.
How cold was the USA in November? The map below look at the Average Temperature rank out of 120. 120 would be warmest.
1 would be coldest. There are a lot of 2’s and 3’s in the blue section.
Imagine the sh*tstorm of publicity if the rank’s had been 118 and 119?
Update: Global is LAND temperatures, not LAND and OCEAN combined because of course the USA is not an ocean.
Wow.This is NOAA Global versus NOAA USA Tmax for October only.
What an amazing divergence over the last 30 years.
When the AGW cult says the USA is only 2% of the globe, remind them that USA and Global temperatures used to track pretty closely.
According to the NOAA Year To Date (January to October 2014) was 80th Hottest Max Temperature out of 120.
How hot was October 1963 in the USA?
In 1963 October was 3.9F hotter than October 2014.
20 states had the hottest max temperature ever for October. (Those marked 120)
10 states had the 2nd hottest max temperature ever for October. (Those marked 119)
3 states had the 3rd hottest max temperature ever for October. (Those marked 118)
etc
So much for CO2 …
