The others hit about everything. The wind could have blown out the pilot with a weak thermocouple.
Get one of the those long handled butane charcoal stove lighters. Turn off , then turn the pilot button to pilot and push. Put the flame on and above the thermocouple. If gas if flowing out the gas tube coming from the valve, it will light. The flame will then heat the thermocouple and you need to hold the button in for 30 to 60 seconds. If you let go of the button and the flame goes out then the thermocouple is bad. It is a safety device made to heat up from the flame and the gas inside it expands and keeps the gas valve open.
The thermocouple is probably an 18 or 24" but you have to see how it mounts.
If the thermocouple is bad you can still use your lighter to light the pilot each time and then turn the furnace on to heat the house plenty warm. Some of those are hard to get at depending upon how deep into the furnace they are.
