Could have been fog. There's been many a time fog has affected my flights in and out of Aberdeen.
But yes, my spies in Aberdeen and Ballater tell me its snowy up there.
BTW I used to live just across the way from the airport (Dyce Village) so its a place I know well. I distinctly remember trying to get in and out of my drive in January 2011 as it was heaped up with snow from the snow ploughs.![]()
We have an office in Aberdeen so I am still a bit of a weather watcher for up there. Makes me feel good that I moved south.
Anyhow, hope you managed to get off the ground, Stew!
