I don’t know about you, but there’s something special about the snow. It makes everything positively magical. A group of sheep were feeling the beauty of the recent snowstorm and couldn’t contain their excitement when it happened. They were jumping for joy! And a video of them celebrating in the snow is beyond sweet.

Hooray! Hooray! It’s a snow day. I don’t know about you, but all I wanted to do was play in the white fluff. And so did these adorable sheep.

It’s almost like they’ve been waiting all year for this, that’s how excited they were. The sheep were pretty big and fluffy themselves, so it’s no wonder that they were right at home in the fluffy snow. Each and every animal was frolicking in the white stuff when they were allowed out to play.

Do my eyes deceive me? Yes — the animals were doing some happy hops! Which is no small feat considering how high up the snow was. Thank goodness for all that fur. It probably kept them warm while they were playing. The whole thing is so precious. I know their human felt the same way.

“Things that bring me joy: sheep playing in the snow,” she wrote in the video’s caption. It definitely brought a smile to my face.

People online enjoyed the video. It really was the small bit of cheer that we all needed.

“I love seeing animals experience joy,” one person confessed.

“We’re twinsies, it made me smile too,” someone else praised.

“Love everything about this,” chimed in another person.

“Most wholesome thing I’ve seen today,” one commenter wrote.

Are Sheep Okay in Cold?

While these little guys are loving the cold, for the most part it’s not a great idea to keep your sheep outside in the cold. Prolonged exposure to cold can be just as bad for sheep as it us for us.

Sheep can typically tolerate temperatures between 54 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Although sheep with more wool on them can sometimes last in temperatures as low as 28 degrees.

It’s all to say that you should probably not let your sheep hang outside in the winter for too long. It can do more harm than good.
