2013 Was Not the Fourth-Hottest Year for the United States

over at the New Republic, Rebecca Leber is reporting on the latest National Climate Assessment, and she makes the following claim:
2013 was tied for the fourth-hottest year for the United States.
Wrong.
According to the NOAA database, 2013 was only the 37th-hottest year on record for the United States, coming in at 52.42°F, just 0.4°F above the 20th-century average.
