'You give us your snow and we'll give you the Palins': Alaska begs Boston for its winter back as frigid state is one of the only places in America that's WARMER than usual
Bemused residents even took to asking Boston - which has been swamped with more than 100 inches of snow in a record-breaking winter - if they can have their winter back.

- Winter has seen snow in almost every state, and frigid lows in the Northeast - but Alaska is balmy by comparison
- In largest city, Anchorage, snow for winter festival was driven in from stockpiles after less than an inch fell last month
- Dog-sledding forced to move 260 miles north to get enough snow - the first time since the event began in 1946
- Residents jokingly asked Boston - been buried by more than 100 inches in recent months - for its snow back
- Alaskan warmth and frigid lows further south are both caused by atmospheric movements in the jet stream
