I'm sorry to keep banging on about this, but either you're in a white
out or your not. There isn't an intermediate state.

See some recent posts on this subject.

I was in a wind blown white out during heavy snow last year - two
photographs taken 20 seconds apart illustrate the difference in visibility
between gusts, I'll post them somewhere if anyone is interested!
