I would run from Camp Office to Carter Hydro Dam and then back loaded with raw meat and guts. Out of boredom, i even tested it and when blizzard would start, provided i was inside, i would go outside in order to find wolves. But in all this cases, i was outside before and when blizzard struck. I also had wolves attacking me during blizzard. I had them move alongside me VERY close during blizzard not noticing me at all, more than once. it is also true their senses (not just visibility) are reduced. It is true that they (wolves) stay, if you were outside and they were already spawned and then blizzard starts. But for Stalker (and i assume it is the same for other difficulties as well, don't see why would it be different) i have NEVER encountered a single wolf if i wandered outside, provided that blizzard started while i was somewhere inside. I do not know for Looper, i'we never played it.
