I don't know if you've ever had the good fortune of seeing a dog discover snow, but it is pure joy. I remember my then-puppy's first snow like it was yesterday.

A rare snowstorm, however, has struck the southern U.S. — states like Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida — meaning many dogs are discovering snow. After all, how often does a pup in New Orleans get to see snow? In a time where you might need some cute videos — well, that time is pretty much any time — the snow in the South is certainly delivering.

Look at this pup sprinting around.

Or this adorable, if scared, big boy.

Or this little guy who has no idea what's going on.

This husky was in heaven.

This pup made literal snow angels.

Or these doggies that had very different reactions to their first snow day.

So, there you have it, some free smiles from some chilly but excited pups.
