A fun weather video from the US northeast of a man and his seven-year-old daughter performing acrobatics in the snow as a record deluge hit the Pennsylvania city of Erie.

In the video, Stephen Reichard and his daughter Tatum hold hands and perform a running bellyflop into the snow, which Reichard said was four feet thick.

"Oh my god I'm stuck," says Reichard. "I'm literally stuck."

The girl says: "Oh that's cold, oh man!" says Tatum.

Reichard then performs a spectacular somersault into the snow.

He writes: "We decided to have some fun between all of the shovelings and do some acrobatics into the snow. Erie doesn't stop for snow, no matter how much! People are still out driving around and doing things that other places would not even think of attempting."

A record amount of snow fell in Erie during a Christmas storm that has seen more than 60 inches of snowfall since December 23.

According to reports, the storm brought 34 inches of snow on Christmas Day, an all-time daily snowfall record for the city. Another 24.5 inches had fallen by Tuesday night.
