As a Canadian, it would be socially unacceptable not to complain about the weather in February. It is a common topic of small talk. Less so in the summer, as the common retort to weather complaints is that "at least it isn't snowing".
The example of rain is given, and I wouldn't be complaining about rain. I just got back from London (UK, not Ontario), where locals couldn't seem to understand that I wasn't being polite, that I genuinely enjoyed their weather compared to home. Being able to walk somewhere for 10 minutes without any exposed skin becoming numb in late January was lovely.
