Steven Washington, 9, dives faces first into a fresh pile of snow, taking a break from shoveling his grandmother s driveway after school was called off for a snow day Monday, Dec. 12, 2016, on Flint, Mich. s north side. I like to see when the snow falls, he said. I love to play in it and make snow angels. It was so cool to get out of school today so I could just be outside around so much snow.

You silly person, you thought that since the kids were sitting at home, glued to their COVID Chromebooks for something like three hours a day that snow days would be a thing of the past.
WINTER WONDERLAND Pandas are one of those animals that manage to look adorable even when they re doing something as pedestrian as leaning against a tree while lazily munching on bamboo. But there are special times when their cuteness reaches extreme levels that can only be touched by elite species such as koalas, hedgehogs, sloths and fennec foxes.
Exhibit A for this argument is the video recently shared of a panda family at the Smithsonian s National Zoo. Mei Xiang and Tian Tian are seen frolicking in the snow and teaching their cub, Xiao Qi Ji, how to properly celebrate winter.

A large winter storm is bringing heavy snow, rain and freezing cold temperatures to the east coast, from the Carolinas to Maine. It also brought snow to the nationâs capital for the first time in almost two years.
That means a snow day for Mei Xiang and Tian Tian, giant pandas at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C.
The National Zoo shared a video of the two pandas frolicking, rolling and sliding around their habitat, now covered in a dusting of snow.

Now that’s un-bear-ably cute.
