This famous viral internet meme plays on a hilarious optical illusion where a standing golden retriever appears to look like a polar bear on a snow-covered, icy Texas residential street during a rare southern winter freeze. Overlaid text reads "What da hell is a Polar bear doin in Arlington Texas" paired with laughing crying emojis, leaning into the absurdity of unexpected severe winter weather hitting the typically warm US state. The grainy, low-light night photo matches the amateur, candid style of weather photos shared widely during the historic 2021 Texas winter storm event.
