I was reading through PF6 last night and came across something that I couldn't make sense of. The description of the dwarves cabin is great, but at several points it references a storm brought up by the Wendigo yet there's no description about when the storm starts. My assumption is that it starts about the time they find the cabin and gets heavier as the story unfolds but some clarification would be nice. I was definitely caught off guard when I read about the haunt that sends the PCs stumbling out into the previously unmentioned blizzard.

The wendigo uses used control weather to call up the storm just as the PCs reached the cabin, and left the storm going for many hours. How the storm builds and blows is left to the GM to describe, to a certain extent, but at one point there WAS a brief encounter at the start of the cabin episode where the PCs hear the wendgo howl and the storm begins. That encounter was cut late in the game, unfortunately, but fragments of it made it through in the encounters to follow.
In the end, a storm's not a huge obstacle for a group that probably has the ability to control weather or teleport or whatever... the storm was mostly in there just for atmosphere. The entire cabin sequence works fine with or without a storm... but I suggest using the storm anyway, since it adds to the creepy factor.
