And in Maine, police said a 59-year-old man died after his pickup crashed into a tree during whiteout conditions on Sunday night. |
The only time we were unable to work outside was during the whiteout which occurred at the end of January. |
Just before the helicopter touched down, the pilot lost his visual reference in whiteout conditions and blowing snow. |
In the final moments of the approach, the flight proceeded in the presence of phenomena conducive to whiteout. |
The real hazard in whiteout is the pilot not suspecting the phenomenon because the pilot is in clear air. |
When a pilot enters whiteout conditions, he appears to be engulfed in a uniformly white glow. |
