Behind the Scenes of 'Frozen'_ by [Laura Stampler](https://time.com/author/laura-stampler/) ## Laura Stampler Feb 19, 2015 3:38 PM UTC  FROZEN, Elsa (voice: Idina Menzel), 2013\. ©Walt Disney Pictures FROZEN, Elsa (voice: Idina Menzel), 2013\. ©Walt Disney Pictures Disney by [Laura Stampler](https://time.com/author/laura-stampler/) ## Laura Stampler Feb 19, 2015 3:38 PM UTC Cold weather hasn’t stopped a Kentucky police department from showing its sense of humor. The Harlan City Police Department posted on its Facebook page Wednesday that it blamed poor weather on Elsa from _Frozen_, and that it had taken out a warrant for the snow princess’ arrest. For the uninitiated, Elsa possesses the magical power to create snow and ice. Shortly after, the Harlan police posted another message warning residents that, joking aside, the weather was still serious business. While we might not be able to blame Elsa for the weather, how about issuing an arrest warrant for getting “Let It Go” [stuck in our heads](http://time.com/45440/let-it-go-stuck-in-head/) for the past year and a half? ## Transcript >> I've never been better.
