Because if there’s a magic parka which will ensure I can always see through whiteout conditions, I’d like to know about it.

I think the answer may be: a house, a log fire, a glass of something warming and alcoholic, and good company.  
I’m fairly sure the mindset is about enjoying the outdoors when you can get out, and enjoying the indoors when the weather forces you back in. (As distinct from being stuck indoors and moping)
