whiteout
Blinding snow condition
Whiteout has two main meanings.
In weather, a whiteout is a blizzard or fog condition where snow and sky blend together, eliminating the horizon and making navigation dangerous: The pilot couldn't land in the whiteout.
As an office product, whiteout is correction fluid—white liquid painted over typed errors to allow retyping.
The verb means to obscure with either: The storm whiteout the valley or She whiteout the typo.
