Considering the rainy, dreary conditions today, you may just need a pick-me-up. Carvel Ice Cream could be the key to turning your gray skies blue.

Between 3 and 8 p.m. today, the ice cream store will give away free junior cones at its Atlanta-area locations including Alpharetta, Lawrenceville and Dunwoody. The available ice cream cone flavors include freshly made vanilla, chocolate or Cookie Butter, which is Carvel's newest limited-edition flavor inspired by Lotus Biscoff.

So, go forth and enjoy those free ice cream cones just like this.
