Finally tracked down the bug that many of you have run into where a storm refresh of resources, including refreshing critters to pickup out in the world, did not appear to always happen or appeared to have some very long waits between storms (weeks).
The issues was you could sleep through a storm, so sleeping right away on a storm day in the morning or anytime before the storm hit would not count as a storm day and the resource refresh would not apply. So technically you could keep sleeping over and over and never have a storm refresh.
You will now get credit for the storm refresh when you wake up on the day after the storm if you slept through the storm on the previous day. Sorry for the delay in tracking this down and thank you to everyone who reported the issue.
