There are two different forms of a whiteout: 1. In blizzard conditions, the windblown snow in the air may simply make it too difficult to see very far. 2. In clear air conditions, when there is no snow falling, diffuse lighting from overcast cloud may cause all surface definition to disappear.  4, record 2, English, - antarctic%20whiteout

"Arctic white-out" causes difficulties for air traffic. This occurs when there is a heavy overcoat on a uniformly white surface.

Le second type [de voile blanc], connu sous l'expression temps laiteux, est beaucoup plus insidieux que le premier parce qu'il peut se produire dans des conditions météorologiques de vol à vue sans être accompagné de poudrerie. Le temps laiteux se produit au-dessous d'un ciel dont la couverture nuageuse va de faible à moyenne dans des régions recouvertes de neige et sans traits caractéristiques marqués. Lorsque le soleil se trouve dans une certaine position, ses rayons sont réfléchis dans un mouvement de va-et-vient entre la surface et la couverture nuageuse, et font que tous les contrastes au sol disparaissent sans qu'il n'y ait de distinction évidente entre le sol et les nuages  5, record 5, French, - voile%20blanc

Aujourd'hui, le terme «blanc dehors» sert souvent à décrire un blizzard ou une bourrasque de neige quand une poudrerie élevée réduit la visibilité à quelques mètres. Mais il ne s'agit pas d'un vrai blanc dehors lequel survient surtout dans l'Arctique et dans l'Antarctique où une couverture ininterrompue de neige et un ciel uniformément couvert se combinent pour créer une lueur blanche continue.  6, record 5, French, - voile%20blanc
