“It was a little scary, you couldn't see anything,” said Gabrielle Vazza, who lives near Boston and was flying back from Tampa, Florida. “Normally I can see the ground when we're close, but you couldn't see it at all.”
Many passengers on board flights that landed at TF Green on Tuesday morning were just happy that everything went well.

“When we came down, you literally couldn't see the ground until the plane landed right over it,” said Nora Taylor, who lives in Connecticut. “It was so cloudy that it looked like it was snowing against the blue sky.”
NBC 10's Allegra Zamore got a firsthand look at just how bad the fog was. She was flying from Newark to Providence when Mother Nature forced her pilot to make a U-turn.
“I had to deal with a lot of weather and a lot of delays, but I never got to my destination and then had to turn back,” Zamore said. “I thought I was in clear weather, no snow, no rain, I didn't think fog would be a problem.”
TF Green encourages passengers flying from Rhode Island to check with their airlines about possible delays.
