All three of the shepherds complain about the weather. When the third shepherd enters, he says that the level of rain they are currently experiencing has not been seen "since Noah's flood."
The other two shepherds have additional complaints besides the weather. The first shepherd complains that the weather is very cold, and he isn't well dressed to protect against it. Then he goes on to complain about overtaxation and the fact that he is a poor man who is oppressed and taken advantage of by the rich.
The second shepherd complains that it's so cold and frosty that his eyes are streaming. Having complained about the weather, he goes on to say that "poor wedded men suffer such woe" and complains that his wife has him "in shackles" so he can't make his own decisions in life but must be led by her.
