We've complained a lot about the weather over the last week but, despite the ice today, it's sunny and I'm feeling positive. So I've rounded up a compilation of people enjoying the snow and ice, and being nice to each other, for your viewing pleasure. Sit back, relax, and enjoy these silly, funny, and occasionally touching videos.

Mathew Gilmour, from CJAD 800, tweeted out this video this morning. As a man struggles to shovel the frozen snow from around his car, a snowplow stops and makes a car-sized space for him to pass through. A little bit of solidarity goes a long way #CJAD800 pic.twitter.com/n6pXLgcbhB — Matt Gilmour (@MGilmourMTL) January 25, 2019 We also posted this video on our Instagram this morning, which shows two people dressed up in t-rex costumes fighting with snow shovels. Definitely one of the more entertaining things you'll see today.

Skating in your driveway 🤣. Welcome. To.

Hard to believe this is real. Drivers in Montreal and Ottawa would immediately speed up to 100 and just let the highway take care of the snow. pic.twitter.com/pxe78aesja — Marc Dumont (@MarcPDumont) January 14, 2019 These girls are making the most of the snow, taking a nice, refreshing swim in the fresh snow.

People really love their bikes in this city...

Renee Levesque and Stanley at 12:30 this afternoon, good job Montreal.. good job. @CTVMontreal @CJAD800 @aaronrand @TerryDiMonte pic.twitter.com/i6ciMOKo06 — Mike Kasapiano (@MiiKassa) January 24, 2019 Look at this masterful actor, convincing us all he was about to fall: trying to get to the bar last night like #montreal pic.twitter.com/Xuifuk8mJS — Lena Slanisky (@lvbs) January 24, 2019 And check out this inspiring video of the little engine who could: sidewalk plows are so wee and cute 🥰 u can do it pic.twitter.com/GADzGzWrIM — Lena Slanisky (@lvbs) January 20, 2019 This person found a creative way to get to their car despite the flooded street.

View this post on Instagram It was a short set on an early cold morning at -20ish 🎥 @aslapid0325 A post shared by Ignatius Chan (@iggsmeister) on Jan 22, 2019 at 11:12am PST I'm sure that the person in this video realised that their bus was never going to come, got fed up, and came up with this creative way to hitch a ride instead.

We should all take a cue from these people, reconnect with our inner child, and go play in the snow for a bit. It will definitely do us some good, and help us relax after another long week. Have a good weekend, Montreal!
