• KRDO republished Stacker’s Colorado ranking, listing December 1909 as the coldest on record with a 14.9°F average, a 25.8°F monthly high, a 3.9°F low, and 1.74 inches of precipitation.
• KTVZ carried the Oregon list, placing December 1924 first with a 23.3°F average, a 31.2°F monthly high, a 15.4°F low, and 4.26 inches of precipitation.

• Stacker’s state rankings rely on National Centers for Environmental Information records and sort months by the lowest statewide average temperature since 1895.
• Each ranked month lists the statewide average along with monthly highs, lows, and total precipitation, underscoring a retrospective look rather than a 2025 record announcement.
