Rejoice! The folks over at the Smithsonian National Zoo have blessed us all with another video of Tian Tian, the adorable panda, frolicking in his snowy enclosure.

The latest aww-worthy video features the 18-year-old panda rolling down a hill, clearly delighted at all the fresh snow brought in by the historic blizzard that slammed the East Coast last week.

Tian Tian became an Internet sensation Saturday, when the zoo posted a short clip of him rolling around and making snow angel-like shapes in piles of fresh powder.

People had a hard time containing themselves after seeing the original video, which quickly amassed more than 178,000 shares.

Tian Tian's adorable rolling even inspired one man to dress up as a panda and do some frolicking of his own, though the general consensus is than Tian Tian did it better.

Like most of Washington, D.C, zoo staff are in the process of digging themselves out of from under heaps of snow after the monster blizzard dumped more than 22 inches of powder on the region.

Though the zoo will be closed for a while, staff members have assured Twitter followers that updates on Tian Tian and other zoo critters will continue to be posted.
