"You gotta be kidding me!" No, no we're not Jim Cantore.

While many of you may be dreading the thought of going back to work Tuesday morning after a long holiday weekend, Cantore may just be jumping for joy.

In fact, he may just be the happiest employee we've ever seen!

While covering the latest East Coast storm over Valentine's Day weekend, The Weather Channel's trusted meteorologist tried to report the latest conditions from the ground.

But instead of talking about snowfall amounts or temperatures, Cantore found himself fascinated with the thundersnow.

"Yes! We got it baby!" he shared after experiencing the rare weather phenomenon on live television. "We got it! Listen to that!"

Uhhhh, what are we listening for Jim? As it turns out, thundersnow really is just the combination of snow and thunder.

"Again, again!" he explained. "It's a twofer. Twofer baby! Oh my goodness!"

When it happened for a fourth time, however, Cantore was practically left speechless. Oh wait, we're totally kidding.

"You can have your $500 million jackpot in Powerball or whatever the heck it was," he explained to viewers. "I'll take this baby. Four episodes of thundersnow." Nothing like seeing a weatherman geek out!

"#THUNDERSNOW!! It was a great day at the office !!" he tweeted with a link to the video already going viral. "#5 while ON-AIR & 6 times this morning in Plymouth, MA."

We know who we're watching when the next storm strikes!
