Get outa here!!
G'day Old Farang......we get brown-outs - big time 
white-outs from powdered snow also happens, but depends on the condition of the snow (fresh powder or slushy or crusty) 
Brown-outs are easier to manage cause You can usually peg Your eyeballs to a rock through the chin bubble for a reference 
powdered snow is more tricky; throw out a backpack on a flypast to help avoid flat-line effect & drive the toes in before You loose visual, need some head wind to keep ahead of the fluff 
anyways no-fun

Hi VF,
Couple of questions if you don't mind. What is that pyramid like structure in 4354 ? How long have you got left out there ? You posted previously that you were leaving for Oz.

Neo, I think thats the Italian Pyramid used by scientist to study the climate, human physiology and the environment.
See some more info here: The story of the Pyramid | Ev-K2-CNR
I'm sure VF will put me right if I got it wrong.
