Tuesday’s snowfall caused headaches for many Minnesotans but some found joy in the weather.

The Minnesota Zoo shared a video of some of its animals playing in the snow and others investigating the snowflakes.

In particular, Luka the Amur tiger seemed to enjoy the snowfall, as did a wolverine and the snow monkeys.

Otters were seen looking up to the sky as if unsure whether the flakes were enjoyable or not.

Many Minnesotans, especially commuters, likely found the snowfall not so enjoyable, as road conditions deteriorated, causing many crashes and leading to several school closures.

A heavy band of snow has developed over the south metro and will sit in place for the next 2-4 hours. Snowfall rates close to 1" per hour will be possible at times. High impact to travel for the rest of today. Your evening commute could be even SLOWER than this morning. #mnwx pic.twitter.com/fUSWEGt0HU
