Check Out How Floridians Are Reacting To Snow
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- It may not seem like such a big deal for Minnesotans, but for the first time nearly three decades, it has snowed in Tallahassee, Florida.
On Wednesday, Floridians were shocked to see the white flakes flying. Of course, many took to social media to express their disbelief and excitement.
Here's a look at some of their reactions:
"Mom" was excited, for one.

When dogs experience snow for the first time, this happens …
... and this.
Of course, some had to do the classic "catch the snowflake with your tongue" move.
Even a sheriff's office in Florida made a funny.
We're going to have to take you in Florida. You're drunk. ❄️????????#SunshineState #Ice #FloridaSnow #FLWX #LESM @NationalSheriff @Ginger_Zee @wmbbjustin @PeoplesAnthony #burr @NWSTallahassee @weatherchannel @RyanMichaelsWX #25Degrees pic.twitter.com/aejS9DrB2I

And touché, Bryant.
I know all the northerners are laughing at us getting so excited over the snow but remember y'all get the same way seeing our beaches and sunsets. It's all about those rare sights and enjoying them. #FloridaSnow

BONUS: Here's NOAA's satellite imagery of the "Bomb Cyclone" over Florida. Pretty cool, huh?
