How long has he been missing?
If it just happened, get a flashlight (after dark) and look under cars, steps, porches, etc. An indoor cat rarely goes very far. Some people say the majority of cats turn right when the go out the door.
Knock on doors. Every door within 2 blocks or so, if you can.
Contact your local animal control. Put up posters with pictures. Offer a reward. Mention that the cat is an indoor cat. Some people say to tell people that the cat needs medication; people are less likely to keep it for themselves.
Put the cat's litter box (not cleaned!) on the porch or by the door, and put out food and water on a rug or a dirty T shirt that you have worn.
There are lots more ideas here in this forum. Act quickly; I know the weather is getting rough up there, and you want to find him before he can get very far away.

Something I just read, put a baby moniter out at night and you may be able to hear your lost pet
