FAQ

Re The Blizzard Timing: So we're 30m on, 30m off? blizzard from 9-9:30, peace from 9:30-10 sort of thing?

Yes!

Can you floo?

In a word? No. >D You CAN, however due to the magical disturbances, the floo network will work intermittently at random intervals (aka up to the player's discretion!) and there is absolutely no guarantee where you might end up. Looking to go to your family's house? You might just end up in the house of some random stranger instead ;)

Will the magic dampening remain in the impervious-to-magic snow spots?

Yes!

Rhetorically, if someone was injured the first 28th or some otherwise lasting event - if they start the day over would they still be injured? Would they just be injured and possibly have forgotten? Injured again the second? Duel injuries?

To avoid mass confusion and interfering in others plots, this is up to the player/their partners to coordinate!

Is there an epicentre to the implosion or just low level effects everywhere?

Nope!

Also does the headmasters shield protect the school from such problems?

Hogwarts will be affected by the snow AND the Leap Year time loop, but not by the other magical instances due to the Headmaster's Shield!

Are we talking just Hogsmeade/Irvingly or all of the way down to London etc too? This a huge geographical range for a storm, even a magical one..?

All of Great Britain (save for Hogwarts for reasons listed above) is affected for Leap Day reasons!
