Whiteout

A "whiteout" is a weather condition where visibility is severely reduced due to snow, fog, or overcast skies blending together, creating a uniform white landscape. This phenomenon often occurs in snowy environments with heavy snowfall or in blizzards, making it difficult to see any landmarks, terrain, or the horizon. Whiteouts can disorient travelers and pose significant hazards, especially for pilots, drivers, and outdoor enthusiasts, as it becomes challenging to judge distances or recognize familiar surroundings. Essentially, the landscape appears as a seamless white expanse, impairing perception and navigation.
