That is counter intuitive as Nordic people with light blue eyes and light skin dominate the north ( tho not the far north ).
I would tend to think they might be less prone to snow blindness.
That said albinos certainly have bright light and eye issues but that may be unrelated.
AFAIK, snow is not a permanent feature of most northern areas inhabited by pale-eyed people, Macdoc.
