I think this is right. In Master and Man we're given the opportunity to get to know the characters before they find themselves in the snowstorm. And that somehow serves to amplify the dramatic tension which the snowstorm generates. It matters that the characters who're trapped in the storm are characters we're already invested in.

Yes, adding the details about their lives before the trip added tension...and gave us more feelings towards them, more concern.
