For the past two weeks, winter has allegedly been causing extreme cold, littering snow all around the city, and just being all around horrible to get along with.

In an unprecedented move from the Calgary Police Service, the arrest warrant was actually preluded and caused by a Twitter poll held by Constable Smith, wherein 312 voters supported charges against the snowy season.

Dear #Calgary

Who else is in agreement that #winter has overstayed it’s welcome. ❄️🌨️

Would you support charges of loitering & causing a disturbance against winter?

Whether or not police will manage to get handcuffs on the abstract denomination of a portion of the year remains to be seen, though we expect this entire matter to be cleared up within, oh, 33 days (depending on the opinion of a groundhog, of course).
