During snowstorm, Queen Elsa rescues Boston cops

It's been a rough winter again in New England, where a nor'easter has struck for the third time in the last few weeks.

Fortunately, for the Boston cops, Jason Triplett, 37, had purchased proper winter clothing for pushing a Boston Police wagon out of the snow: Queen Elsa's costume from Frozen.

“Everyone will be over it by noon,” Triplett, a Boston attorney, tells People. “But if this is my 15 minutes, I would like to leverage it to meet Adam Rippon.”

The video was taken by Christopher Haynes, a publicist for a restaurant where everyone knows Elsa's name.

“The Gallows is just one of those places that everybody in the neighborhood everyone knows is open on a snow day,” says Haynes. “It was rowdy. All of a sudden these drag queens come in, and one of them dressed as Elsa. He was like ‘I wanted to blend in tonight so I threw this on.’ Nobody even knew this cop was stuck, but he ran out to help.”
