Residents in a central Minnesota town were startled to see a man standing out in bitter cold weather, coatless and holding a pillow. It’s not surprising that callers to the police reported the “deranged man,” wondering if the man had frozen to death.
There was a reason the man looked stiff as a board.
"Those cardboard cutouts sure can look real from a distance," the police department wrote in a Facebook post.
No wonder residents were concerned. Last month was Minnesota's fourth snowiest month on record, KMSP reported. And it was cold, too: Many school districts were forced to either close or delay starting times.
