Why does the journalist in Scotland keep calling the conditions "white

Rant over, thank you.


Probably because they've never been in a whiteout situation before.
The same reporter however may well find themselves in actual whiteout
conditions later when the wind picks up - and, more's the pity (not),
they get stranded for a day or two.
