It sure is hot out these days! The intense heat has us reminiscing for those colder days where we can layer on our cute sweaters!
Sure, that's how we feel right now but when that chill starts to drift in, we will probably miss the sun once more. But right now the sun is evil and we need to cool off with some polar bear bears sledding in the snow.
Join us, won't you?
OK, most cats don't like this freezing white thing we hoomans call "snow." However, there are a few brave souls who not only endure this kind of weather but actually love it! We're talking Norwegian Forest Cats, Maine Coons, mostly those long-haired fluffs who were seemingly built for such weather.
Everyone else? Nope. Don't like it, don't want it. Well, maybe for 3 seconds but that's plenty to show the hooman how brave you are before bolting back indoors and finding that toasty spot by the heater!
What's the first thing you thing of when you think of Winter? Snow!
Snow is pretty darn magical, and might be the best thing to come out of Winter (we're not talking about full-on blizzards here).
What could make snow even more magical? Animals. Wildlife enjoying Mother Nature's beautiful snow-filled wonderland.
And while we watch this, with our blankets wrapped around us and heater besides our feet, we can comfortable say that this BBC Earth special, 'Best of Animals in the Snow' is particularly a winter-inspired treat!
Famous Dogsledder Blair Braverman's dog, Leap, spent the first day of 2020 trying something new — pulling a sled. Braverman shared Leap's journey with her followers, including videos that showed the dog immensely enjoying her new adventure.

Here are 17 animals experiencing their very first snow and their expression says more than 1,000 words!
It's official now: the world has started to get a bit whacky. We have been seeing hints of this for a while, as feral hogs took over the minds of innocent Twitter denizens; I don't think Trump has been doing much to help the situation; and surely this 50 meter long penis near Geelong, Australia isn't normal (what's going on Australia?). My point is, weird things are happening. And they got even weirder when a video emerged of a mob of kangaroos hopping around on the snow. Wait - what? Snow? Australia? Kangaroos? Something is wrong.
Penguins: waterproof, flightless, and dressed in little tuxedos. Who couldn't love them? Go no further if you're looking for awesome penguin pictures and facts. We've got you covered.

What makes Snow Leopards' majestic appearance is their white coat with gorgeous pattern and their long fluffy tail. Their tails are almost as long as they are – somewhere between 80 to 105 centimeters long. Like cat's tail, their main function is helping these felines balance. But that doesn't stop there. The tails are a purrfect thing to 'nom-nom' on! So much for the majestic look…The reason for this is unclear. But who cares? It's freaking cute and silly at the same time! Via: PurrWorld
