Gritty Enjoys the Wonders of Snow for the First Time in His Life

Philadelphia was treated to something of a surprise snowstorm Thursday morning.

Weather people are not in mid-season form. They're rusty so to speak. So the accumulation this morning caught plenty of people by surprise.

But there's a bright side to the inconvenience. We all get to witness Gritty, the Flyers young mascot, experience snow for the first time. It did not disappoint. 

"Zamboni dust." Hehe.

The guy from North Dakota across the street was less in awe and more in love with the flakes:

Beautiful sight right there! https://t.co/YybGbvAi0G— Carson Wentz (@cj_wentz) November 15, 2018
