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! |

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. Adrian -- Adrian Shaw ais@ Adran Cyfrifiadureg, Prifysgol Cymru, aber.
