ChescoWx

Below is a great list (Thanks Chris Martz) of all-time US by State high temperature records (of course before adjustments NOAA adjustments etc.). Per Chris "35 states set their “all-time” March monthly record high temperatures prior to 1955. Thirteen states set theirs in 1907 alone, the most in a single year and a single decade. Eight states set their March records in the 1920s, seven of which were in 1929. I ran the numbers by hand from NOAA's database on xmACIS2 and have been consulting with just about every state climatologist to confirm that these are in fact legitimate, as NOAA NCEI only lists records set for all months, not individual months."

Nah nothing remotely sobering at all! Well only if you adjust the 1920's thru 1960's like our friends at NOAA/NCEI did for example here (see below) in Chester County PA - those nifty post adjustment fixes make quite the difference in that blue scary (sobering) line!!
