Does anyone remember seeing this film or know the name?

When I was around 8 I remember watching a film(I believe it was a TV
film and it was not released in cinemas etc) and I was wondering if
anyone thinks they may have seen it also and could tell me the name.
I am certain that it was broadcast around 2000 and I am also certain
the title has the word 'storm' in it, I have been convinced it was
called "The Eye of the Storm" however Google has not recognized a film
by this name. I also remember confusing the title of this film with
that of the film "The Perfect Storm" as both films were showing around
the same time (except "The Perfect Storm" was in cinemas).
The plot revolved around what I think was a small American town that
was hit by a wild storm(possibly snow storm) and everyone in the town
gathered in a town hall or something similar. Whilst the storm occured
over a period of hours the townfolk discovered a sinister stranger
amongst them who went on to tell them that he wanted them to give him
one of their children for some reason. I believe the film ended with
the main character having to sacrifice his own son to save everyone
and then years later he passes the stranger on the street and notices
he is with a teenage boy who looks a lot like his son.
This is all drawn from an 11 year old memory so I could have some
information very wrong. But if anyone could shed some light on this I
would be very grateful as I would like to see the film again. Thanks
