It's possible that the Schnee Manor is inside some sort of Dust empowered field that shields them from harsh climate of Solitas.

This is my point of view on this short:

The gusts of wind were simply Winter's doing (as well as Beowulfs) to disorient Weiss and test her adaptivity in the fight. You saw her and Weiss (albeit in tandem with Yang) doing the same thing: creating a shround of either steam or fog to blind-side their enemies.

The first (visual) clue that might point to the field around certain facilities, residential areas etc. is - Weiss and Winter didn't have steam coming with their breath (at least I believe I didn't see anything like that)

The second clue comes from WoR: Atlas, where you can clearly see giant (probably Fire) Dust crystals floating around and above buildings. It might be both figurative and literal imagery though.
