Sort of related story. Years ago I was driving from Kansas back home to Greeley in a blizzard at night. When I got to Limon they had closed I-70. No way I wasnt getting home so I took some backroad highways. It was so bad I had to turn my lights off and just aim for the area that was slightly darker than everything else. Gave new meaning to keep it between the ditches. Luckily nobody else was stupid enough to be out driving so I didn't really have to worry about other cars. When I hear white out conditions, that's what I think of. Literally could not see a single thing but for some reason the road area was just a tad bit darker than everything else. Took a couple hours extra but I made it home.
@JJ Husker No, I just feel like they are more difficult to see in general during heavy snowfall. A turning vehicle in white even with their lights on can be pretty hard to see.
Color isn't the issues, it's the headlights. Yesterday I saw headlights before I saw black, red or blue vehicles. So obviously a white one with no lights was basically a last second observation, never mind I'm driving a 30k lbs truck in the opposite lane.
But yeah white just sucks regardless during winter.
