Over 108 years, which is the span the weather analysts Davis and Russo at SSMB use, this past April ranked 45th for temperature levels in Missouri, nice and normal.

I don't know what SSMB stands for, but why do you think the SSMB analysis is so much different than the NOAA analysis?

SSMB = Salomon Smith Barney. As to why more trustworthy, that's easy; they're not politicised, hence have no motivation to willfully skew their analysis according to the preferences of their political masters. One cannot say the same for NOAA.
