Mýflug Beechcraft B200 King Air and Air Iceland Connect Bombardier Dash 8 Q200 could not perform approach under these conditions and both diverted to Reykjavik.

Remind you, the airport in Ísafjörður (ICAO: BIIS) is among the most dangerous in the world. To approach the runway there planes must enter in narrow fjord and, in case of runway 08, to make steep U-turn at the end of the fjord, which is impossible to perform without good visibility.
