Video posted to the Oregon Zoo Facebook page shows off one of the zoo's tigers lounging on a rocky cliff as snow falls on its head and face and a family of harbor seals frolicking in the snow.

"It's been a crunchy, slushy, wintry and beautiful day," a separate post on the zoo's Facebook page reads.

There has been no word on when the zoo will re-open.
