| has gloss | (noun) an arctic atmospheric condition with clouds over snow produce a uniform whiteness and objects are difficult to see; occurs when the light reflected off the snow equals the light coming through the clouds whiteout |
| has gloss | eng: Whiteout is a weather condition in which visibility and contrast are severely reduced by snow. The horizon disappears and there are no reference points at all, leaving the individual without any orientation. It may be simply due to extremely heavy snowfall rates as seen in lake effect conditions, or due to other factors such as diffuse lighting from overcast clouds, mist or fog, or a background of snow. People can be lost in their own front yards during a true whiteout, when the door is only 20 feet away, and they would have to feel their way back. Motorists have to stop their cars where they are, as the road is impossible to see. Normal snowfalls and blizzards, where snow is falling at 1 or 2 inches per hour, are often incorrectly called whiteouts. Types There are four different forms of a whiteout: # In blizzard conditions, snow already on the ground can become windblown, reducing visibility to near zero. |

| has gloss | fra: Un blanc dehors ou temps laiteux est un phénomène optique atmosphérique, particulièrement dans les régions polaires, dans lequel les contrastes sont nuls et où tout semble enveloppé dune lueur blanche uniforme à cause dun ciel bas, de neige au sol et dune visibilité pouvant être faible. Lobservateur ne peut discerner ni ombres, ni horizon, ni nuages ce qui lui fait perdre le sens de la profondeur et de l'orientation .

| has gloss | isl: Hvítblinda er truflun á sjónskynjun sem lýsir sér með því að allt rennur saman í hvíta heild án skugga, kennileita, áttar eða dýptar. Gerist þetta helst þar sem jörð er alhvít og himininn er skýjaður (t.d. upp á jökli eða í snjóbreiðu). Hvítblinda er einnig sjálf birtan á alhvítum svæðum þar sem himinn og jörð renna saman. Snjóblinda er hið sama, nema snjóblinda er eingöngu tímabundin sjóndepra af völdum mikillar snjóbirtu, en ekki lýsing á birtuskilyrðum. |
