Can they send some of that Global Warming to my brother in Alaska?

Near-record cold in Alaska and abundant snow in the southeast Strong and widespread cold described March this year all across Alaska. Temperatures throughout the mainland were more than 8�F below average and the most extreme temperature departures of more than 16�F below average were observed in the central Interior. Areas along the Arctic coast and the southeast panhandle had relative warmth with temperature departures less than 8�F below average. The portions of the state that had extreme cold also received little in the way of precipitation as clear and sunny skies dominated. A location that received more than its fair share of snowfall was Juneau, breaking daily, monthly, and seasonal snowfall records. The vernal equinox, or time of year when daylight and darkness are approximately equal across the earth, occurred on March 20th.
