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.

He wasn't in a white out, he was, as he said, in a near whiteout. What's the
problem with that? It was nearly a whiteout. I've been in enough near
whiteout conditions to know exactly what he means. It can be disorientating,
but with care you have enough visual clues to find your way around.

Have you ever been skiing Alan?

You'll be saying there's no such thing as "nearly dark" next.
