    Door frozen to the ground. If it is a wood door it could be water soaked and too heavy. As temps change the doors will tend to move around some. Inspect the spring to be sure it is still working properly. They tend to break e very couple of years.
    DO NOT attempt to fix it yourself. The springs can be very dangerous and best left to a professional.
