You're right of course. The next verse is a big clue. And using a more recent translatin helps:
​
22 Have you entered the storehouses of the snow,
Or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,
23 Which I have reserved for the time of distress,
For the day of war and battle?
(NASB)
​
I'd guess that "treasures" is essentially an archaic form of "treasuries".

What is obvious is that you took one word out of context and jumped to conclusions about what it meant - conclusions that the text does not support.
​
It is also obvious that the "storehouses" translation fits the text much better.
​
And the only person who seems to want to ignore or erase those obvious facts is you.
