zero visibility

Can't see anything

Zero visibility describes conditions where you cannot see anything ahead—fog, smoke, blizzard, or darkness so complete that navigation becomes impossible.

Weather reports use it technically to mean visibility under a certain threshold.

Figuratively, it suggests operating blind: We're flying with zero visibility on this project.
