Jude's (yellow) going to be organizing some coordination. He has a group set up online for other people investigating, and is putting up notices on various bulletin boards (including the community center) to encourage people to share what they know. He's going to be sorting through that information himself, and sharing what he learned at the library.

Béatrice and Ade will participate in Jude's online group by helping out with the gathering and sharing of information. Their main goals are to figure out if it's possible to counter the magic used to start the snow and figure out an estimate on how much magic/how many people would be necessary.

Reposting just in case:

Candle will be assisting their master Monday with they scrying attempt with their 17 mirrors in the backyard area. Mostly helping out with the set-up of things and offering advice while Monday divines the source of the snow.

For Candle I will set their flag to YELLOW.

James (yellow) will be running a free portal service to help people who are trapped in the snow. He's put contact info on various MC social media sights to allow people to contact him. If he has any free time he'll be researching similar cases of supernatural storms at the museum.

They'll both be flagged yellow.

Players are free to roleplay out their results if they want - we don't have any issue with that.

In General: People are far more familiar with what's going on, and there are several articles published sharing general information. Most people will now know that this isn't someone standing around making it happen, but instead a massive working which was set into motion and left to run itself. However, there are no large, obvious signs of this having ever happened.

The Weekday Witches also share what they found: A general description of a man who's connected to what's happening on the island (A man, tall and lean and wrapped in furs. Carrying a staff made of a splintered wooden head held together by some kind of crystal. He looked tired, but friendly. Like a grandfather who had worked himself harder than he needed to to make sure his family had all they needed.), and a direction. The islets. The forest. The school.

Monday & Candle:
Monday's scrying points to a strange place: The School. The West-North-West mirror shows flashes of the school, but never gives any sort of clear indication beyond a general direction.

Cluckers: The emotional support is appreciated.

Riley: Akechi, when summoned, makes it clear that they haven't heard from December. He's been missing since the start of December, and they're still searching for him. She does, however, deliver her letter to January, and a few days later Riley receives a response:

Thank you for reaching out to me young lady. I have heard a lot about you from Miss November. It would be a pleasure to meet you sometime.

Unfortunately, I do not have any sway over the Winter season. You see I am a goddess of love and romance, and I picked January as my time because that was the time of my festival when I was worshiped.

You would have an easier time getting help from our dear friend December. Try sending a letter to him: he is a kind fellow. If I see him I will ask what he thinks he can do to help.

Regards,
January

Beatrice & Ade: The pair find some tidbits in their research: A dozen or so weather wizards with decent strength up near the clouds might be able to undo it. From the ground, the number required would be doubled or even tripled, and likely require a large supply of mana, larger than any one human has.

James: James doesn't really have time for any sort of research. There's a lot of people taking advantage of a free taxi service, while some need it a lot, and some barely need it at all.

Euphemia (Red Flag) had been planning to leave the search to the proper authorities, but as the winter drags on and more people are inconvenienced, she decides to assist. Being a former catholic killer of corrupt creatures, she uses her old training in hunting people down to search the area around the school for a man fitting the description, or any evidence of someone having used large scale magic within the area.

Natalie (Red Flag), after looking over the information and trusting that there are enough people spreading it, decides to head to the islets. She'll be talking to both the staff as well as the people held within the correctional facilities to see if anyone knows anything about the man or what else could be causing all this.

Euphemia looks into things around the school, seeking both the old man, or any evidence of large scale magic near the school. They find signs of magic (the school has a lot of magic going on), but no signs of obvious, large-scale workings anywhere in the areas she can enter.

Natalie investigates at the correctional facilities, but it's obvious the police have already been there asking about who could have caused this. None of the people she talks to recognizes the man, but in the afternoon before she leaves, a friendly psychic does point her towards the residential area back on the island when looking at the man's picture.
