visibilidade embaçada, pouca vizibilidadae, visão nublada
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
When visibility is near zero due to blizzard conditions or occurs on sunless days when clouds and surface snow seem to blend, erasing the horizon and creating a completely white vista.

Visões, alucinações
Segundo o dicionário mchaelis, Whiteout é um "fenómeno óptico nas regiões polares, que apaga os contornos e oblitera a orientação"
Não sei se há palavra específica para isso. Acho que visões ou alucinações poderá ter cabimento

resplendor branco, branco total
Meu dicionário traduz como "resplendor branco" mas no Google não achei nada com esse termo.
No Google encontrei "branco total":
Quando a luz do dia é difundida por múltiplas reflexões entre campos de gelo ou neve e um céu coberto de nuvens, ocorre uma condição denominada *branco total* antártico (“antarctic whiteout”). Embora a visibilidade possa ser boa, a percepção de profundidade é grandemente prejudicada. Objetos brancos confundem-se no pano de fundo claro, de modo que não são percebidos. As nuvens cerradas impedem contrastes e o horizonte torna-se impossível de distinguir.

Whiteout: (Also called milky weather.) An atmospheric optical phenomenon in which the observer appears to be engulfed in a uniformly white glow. Neither shadows, horizon, nor clouds are discernible; sense of depth and orientation is lost; only very dark, nearby objects can be seen. Whiteout occurs over an unbroken snow cover and beneath a uniformly overcast sky, when, with the aid of the snow blink effect, the light from the sky is about equal to that from the snow surface. Blowing snow may be an additional cause. This phenomenon is experienced in the air as well as on the ground.
