NEW YORK, UNITED STATES (REUTERS) - Snow is wreaking havoc in parts of the north-eastern United States, but New York's red pandas are making the most of it.

The pandas at the Trevor Zoo in Millbrook had fun frolicking in the snow and eating from their lavender plants.

The March storm comes near the end of an unusually mild winter along much of the East Coast, with below-normal snowfalls in cities such as New York City and Washington.
