Are You Complaining About the Weather?

Why do so many people complain about the weather? I have never personally complained only to see the sun pop out. I have never been able to whine and have the temperature go up 5 degrees. What exactly is the purpose?

Lets be clear, I don't like winter. I am plotting my winter home in San Diego right now. I love summer and the sun and mild. Most of us do. On the other hand, what are we really complaining about? Do you walk miles in the snow every day? Are you working outside? Maybe you have a right then.
