Some of Houston’s finest were seen taking a break from calls and engaging in a snowball fight Tuesday morning. The city of Houston took to X to post a video of city firefighters and police officers laughing and enjoying the snow between calls.

A rare, historic snowfall blanketed parts of the southern U.S. on Tuesday, allowing residents to play in the rather unusual weather. Families went snow tubing in Houston. People made snowballs and snow angels. People were even seen skiing on Bourbon Street.

The storm prompted the first-ever blizzard warnings for several coastal counties near the Texas-Louisiana border, and snowplows were at the ready in the Florida Panhandle.
