This Raccoon's Adorable Response To Falling Snow Suggests It's His First Few Experiences With Winter
A tiny raccoon turned a snowy porch into a full-on winter wonderland, and the internet could not stop watching. The clip shows him doing that adorable, hands-up routine like he’s personally trying to catch every snowflake before it disappears.
The video was uploaded by YouTuber Timothy Ellis, and it was filmed on his security camera pointed toward his deck. At first Timothy was totally thrown off, because the raccoon wasn’t just hanging around, he was pawing at the sky like the snow was a game he just discovered. Once he realized what was happening, he knew this was one of those “you had to see it” moments.
And honestly, the way this little guy chases the flakes makes it feel like his first real taste of winter.
This tiny raccoon stirred up the internet after it was caught on an outdoor camera enjoying the snow.
This video was uploaded by YouTuber Timothy Ellis. He said that this was captured on his security camera that was pointed toward their deck.
Timothy was confused at first, too, because the raccoon was just seen pawing at the sky. However, he continued with this: “When I realized he was actually chasing snowflakes, my main thought was that I definitely needed to save this video because I knew other people would enjoy seeing it. It’s definitely not something you see every day.”
You can see this little raccoon with its hands in the air to catch the snowflakes.
Timothy took this video on December 19th, and it quickly gained traction after people realized what this little guy was doing on Timothy's porch. In Timothy's description of his video, he talks more about what he does and what his content is about, but he also mentions that he is in Washington, which makes sense given the blanket of snow.
He said that he wanted to share the video because he knew that he wasn't the only one who would enjoy it.
Here is where you can see this adorable original video of this raccoon enjoying the snow.

Timothy Ellis thought the raccoon was just acting weird on the porch, until he noticed it was actually chasing snowflakes on his deck camera.
And if you thought this raccoon was fearless, a Dunkin’ Donuts customer’s doughnut theft turned into TikTok fame fast.
Once the internet clocked that the “pawing at the sky” was snow-chasing, the December 19 clip started spreading fast.
Timothy’s location in Washington and the thick blanket of snow made the whole scene feel even more perfectly timed for this tiny winter obsession.
Now every time people see those hands in the air, they’re reminded that sometimes the best entertainment is just a raccoon having his own little snowfall moment.
We think that this is so cute, and we love when people share these types of videos with us, especially because it gives us a break from the craziness that can be seen on the internet on a daily basis.
Stay tuned for more awesome stories, including more adorable animal stories.
This raccoon looks like he’s having more fun than the rest of us, and we’re all just watching from the outside.
