This winter has brought out a lot of complaints, but it’s also brought out the best in people.

We’ve seen so many posts on social media all over the state of people thanking neighbors or even strangers for going above and beyond and helping others. The Wisconsin Rapids Police Department posted a photo on Saturday of people shoveling near Faith Baptist Church in Wisconsin Rapids.

“Good Deeds Caught,” the department wrote. “A big Thank You to these people digging out a bunch of fire hydrants this morning. Your good deeds were noticed. Have a great rest of the weekend everyone.”

Ryan Hilgendorf took to a Facebook group called "You Know You're From WAUSAU, WI If..." to share a thank you to a stranger.

"Don't know your name, but I want to send the guy with the black Jeep who pulled me and my mom free when my truck got stuck on the ice going up the hill on Brown St. yesterday a BIG thank you," she wrote. "You came along at just the right time, a total life saver."

We asked our USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin readers all over the state to share what acts of kindness they’ve seen, so we can share the love. Check out what you told us:

- Erika Leer Gearhart told us she was on vacation and expected to come home to a mountain of snow.

“When we got back, I was all prepared to pull my boots out of the car and clear our driveway before pulling the car in to unpack,” Gearhart wrote on a comment to an Appleton Post-Crescent Facebook post. “My neighbor had already completely cleared our driveway for us!! Such a nice surprise after traveling.”

- Some people chose to pay the kindness forward for others. Michelle Marie replied to our question on the Manitowoc Herald Times Reporter Facebook page.

“My snowblower is okay, but it's not the greatest,” she wrote. “My next-door neighbor was out doing her driveway with their super snowblower. We had a brief conversation about how we just couldn't handle much more of this weather, and she decided to help me do the end of my driveway with her blower because mine wouldn’t be able to handle it. I started at the top of my driveway, and the next thing I know she’s also blowing out the entire bottom portion of my driveway and sidewalk! I was so grateful since instead of it taking me a few hours to clear, it only took me about 45 minutes with her help. So, this last snowstorm we had I noticed they were not home, and I was shoveling my sidewalk. Remembering how they helped me, I decided to just keep on shoveling and do their sidewalk too. It's always nice when you have good neighbors!”

- We received more than a dozen notes from people all over the state with stories about how their neighbors helped clear out their driveways and sidewalks. Sometimes, people had no idea who helped, just that someone had helped them. Some neighborhoods formed teams to fight against this winter wonderland.

On Twitter, Jim Rodda of Appleton told us about such a scene.

“I really enjoyed watching the ad hoc snowblower militia that emerged in the City Park neighborhood after that last big snow dump,” he wrote. “Maybe a half dozen folks patrolled the neighborhood helping anyone and everyone out, communicating with hand signals over the sound of the blowers.”

- Heather Sairs told us she was on the way to see her aunt in Marshfield who was in the hospice unit when her car got stuck in her driveway. Two neighbors came over and pushed her out.

“It was amazing,” she wrote. “I wasn’t sure I would have gotten to the hospital at all if it hadn’t been for them.”

- It isn’t just neighbors helping neighbors. Winter can be hard on mail carriers between snowy roads and cold weather. Gayle Emmes commented on a Wausau Daily Herald Facebook post that their mail truck got stuck in the snow this winter, and her husband went over and shoveled the truck out.

“Love him to pieces,” she wrote.

- Melissa Miller from Wisconsin Rapids summed up what a lot of people told us.

“We really have the best neighbors,” she wrote. “So many times, have we come home to our driveway and sidewalks snowblowed. We try to help our neighbors as well. Isn't that what being a neighbor is all about?”
