I looked at the kick panel and see no way water can get in,but under sill panel there was a puddle of water,roof was not wet..i heard the cowl could leak water down inside cab..both sides are the same spot for leak,just behind kick panel.

There are a few threads about these leaks that are very detailed. Try removing the cowl wiper arm cover and look in there for deteriorated/cracked seam sealer outboard of the wipers.Use a urethane sealant.
Sometimes a garden hose will show you exact spot.

The passenger side can leak through this screw down into the blower intake. It doesn’t really sound like your issue, but doesn’t hurt to remove it and reseal the screw.

On my 98, the sill plates filled up by bad weatherstripping on the passenger side. On the driver side it was weatherstripping, a leaking rear window (two door) and also rain splashing out through the inner door vent behind the door panel.

In other words, a water hose test would be your best bet to spot the leak - admittedly not too appealing if you’re in a snow storm.
