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

Rant over, thank you.

I thought that. Lots of snow but I could see at least 400m behind her,
although it might well have been at times, I guess.

I`ve been in a white out on several ski holidays ,one in the
cairngorms ,it is truly truly frightening ,you cant even see your
feet,the guy I was skiing with was physically sick ,sort of motin
sickness in reverse.In Aviemore they stupidly turned off the lifts so
you couldnt even get down by listening to the sound of the lifts and
following them.(I hope a person from the aviemore lift company reads
this ) All you could do was wait it out (45mins) ,If you moved you
were in danger of getting lost or worse dropping off a cliff.
So this reporter is talking crap.
