Thanks Boris.
I was loosely using the term to refer to the near whiteout conditions I was
experiencing, which when the most extreme leave one seeing only white.
M-W dictionary definition, (apparently it's correctly written snow-blind)
is:
Main Entry: snow blindness
: inflammation and photophobia caused by exposure of the eyes to ultraviolet
rays reflected from snow or ice
- snow-blind or snow-blind·ed
and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_blindness
and from a Thesauraus
Verb 1. snow-blind - affect with snow blindness; "the glare of the sun
snow-blinded her"
Adj. 1. snow-blind - temporarily blinded by exposure to light reflected from
snow or ice
snow-blinded
Hope this helps. :-)

I will have to ask exactly what kind of subtle meaning "snowblind"
has... Although I love what I see, I am slightly puzzled by what I read.
May be yet another cultural difference, not to mention that whatever
English words relate to snow are not used much by me ;-).
Thanks!
