Being a radio host, I chat with people in the community and spend a lot of time on the internet, specifically social networks. With Western Canada being tossed into a deep freeze, everyone and their dog has something to tweet, post or say about it. It's only been a day, and I'm already sick and tired of hearing and reading people complaining about the weather. Yes, it's cold out. We all know it. It's mid January. Old Man Winter was on a 2 month winter vacation so we all saw it coming.
Most importantly, we really have nothing to complain about. So your car didn't start and you were late for work. At least you have a car and a job. It's unfortunate that workers are stuck at the mines due to the road conditions but they have food and shelter, as do you. Odds are, as you post your winter weather complaint from your smartphone, work computer or school laptop, you've got a roof over your head, some food in your stomach and warm clothes.
Having a late start to the day and a car that doesn't want to move are minor inconveniences compared to fighting off frostbite everyday and trying to find a somewhat warm place to rest your head at night. Others are out braving the cold because they have to, they have no other choice. With that said, instead of complaining all winter, be thankful for what you have and give back to those who aren't as fortunate.
Over and out,

Very well said ! Could not agree more ! There are many people living everywhere who have to seek shelter or freeze to death, lets all be thankful for the luxury's we have.
