It was extremely cold and windy.

The man freezing by the roadside was discovered by a son of a priest.

"The son cried out that there was a man over there. We turned round the car and drove to the place to find a guy of 30 years old in a green jacket on his knees," writes the priest about what happened on his FB page.
