These Creepy Frozen Pants Have No Chill

January temperatures are so frigid in the Twin Cities that pants can be made to stand up on their own.

Now locals are freezing jeans and putting them in their yards as icy sculptures.

Tom Grotting is credited with starting the frozen fad a few years back, according to neighbor Jolana Bernhardt. "This year he posted on Facebook and sort of dared people to do it too," Bernhardt told KARE TV.

Bernhardt quickly warmed up to the idea."I just ran them through the washing machine [and] brought them out after the spin cycle. It took a couple minutes to get them to freeze," she said.
