In early March 2023, St. Petersburg, Russia was hit with a snowstorm that covered the city in a thick blanket of snow. As residents struggled to navigate the wintry conditions, one family found a moment of joy in the midst of the storm.

According to @as.tsveti, who captured the moment on video, a parent and child were walking through a street when they came across a tree covered in snow. The father playfully kicked the tree, causing all of the snow to fall down on top of him and his child. The resulting laughter and smiles were a reminder of the simple pleasures in life.

In an interview, @as.tsveti revealed that she had originally been filming the snowstorm for her mother, who was curious about the severity of the weather. However, when she heard the laughter of the father and child, she turned her camera towards them and captured the playful moment.

As she later reflected on the video, @as.tsveti recognized the universal joy that comes from simple activities like playing in the snow. She noted that the father and child's playful interaction with the tree was a common childhood activity that many people have fond memories of.
