HELP! My door won't shut

It just got cold this morning and my driver door won't latch shut. I messed with the latch and it won't catch into place. I don't know if it's becuase of the cold or it's just decided to break at the worst time imaginable. Has anyone else dealt with this? If so, please advise.

Since I am in a -30c weather right now, I feel that I am qualified to give you this universal solution.

Go to one of the auto stores (Kraigen Autozone, PepBoys etc.) and buy a can of special lock antifreeze and a can of machine oil. Use antifreeze first and then machine oil spray on top...you need to get it as far as possible inside the lock. Good luck.
