That unknown research institute is going out on a limb. 1,204 U.S. sites Recorded their Coldest-Ever October Temperatures last month. Who do we believe? Computer models and adjustments or NOAA physical readings?

"According to official NOAA data, more than twelve-hundred monthly low temperature records fell ACROSS the U.S. in October 2019 — multiple Arctic air masses rode anomalously-far south on the back of a wavy jet stream flow, itself associated with historically low solar activity.
The sun is currently in its deepest solar minimum of the past 100+ years, and the jet stream has weakened as a result; its usual tight ‘zonal’ flow has more-often-than-not reverted to a loose ‘meridional’ one. This wavy flow has diverted brutal Arctic air into the lower-latitudes, and is responsible for the U.S. either busting or tying a staggering 1204 all-time MONTHLY low temperature records in October 2019 (double the number of new heat records).
Here I’ve highlighted just a few of the standout new monthly lows (data courtesy of NOAA):
Eureka, NV‘s bone-chilling reading of 2F (-16.7C) on Oct 30 broke the previous monthly record of 3F (-16.1C) set back 1971, and is now the town’s lowest-ever October temperature in 131 years of data.
McDermitt, NV set a new cold-record in books dating back 127 years — last month’s -10F (-23.3C) busted the previous record October-low of -6F (-21.1C) set in 2002.
Lamar, CO‘s Halloween low of 1F (-17.2C) is now the coldest Oct temp since records began some 126 years ago, smashing 1991’s previous record of 8F (-13.3C).
And lastly, Haskell, TX comfortably surpassed its previous monthly low from way back in 1917 — the 18F (-7.8C) observed on the 31st is now the city’s lowest-October temperature in books dating back to 1893.
Furthermore, many other towns and cities achieved the even-more impressive feat of averaging their coldest Octobers on record (for the month as a whole):
Spokane, WA just suffered its coldest October-ever in record books dating back to 1881. The National Weather Service data confirms the average temperature of 42.3F (5.7C) observed last month broke the city’s all-time record of 42.8F (6C) set way back in October 1905 (the Centennial Minimum)."
The story continues with more details, but you get the idea - this is just another fake news article by the doomist Slashdot.
