This Video Of A Panda Playing In The Snow Will Make You Forget You Hate Snow

by Gillian Fuller

When you're a child, snow is the best thing ever: It means school cancellations, sledding, and snowball fights.

When you're an adult, snow is the worst thing ever: It means traffic, scraping ice off the car, and shoveling driveways.

And when you're a panda, snow is just…fun.

This video, shared to Facebook on Saturday by the Smithsonian's National Zoo And Conservation Biology Institute, shows beloved panda Tian Tian enjoying the snow cover early Saturday morning in Washington, DC.

Though at the time of filming, there only appeared to be about half a foot of snow, the DC area is forecasted to get a lot more — like, up to two feet more.

Thankfully, Tian Tian is seizing the moment to play while he can.

Watch the video below.

Tian Tian woke up this morning to a lot of snow...and he was pretty excited about it. #Blizzard2016 Posted by Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute on Saturday, January 23, 2016
