This happens and it will only happen less when the CAT III landing system is installed, but last night flight inbound from FLL (flight 2020) was diverted to BOS. Initially I though this plane was ferried to ORH this morning, but it does not look like that happened and flight 2019 orginated out of BOS to FLL.
In the past two months I can recall this happening only twice.
@FlyOrh BOS no ferry

@FlyOrh heavy fog. Held west of Worcester for about five loops and diverted, just could not get minimums and it only got worse

@FlyOrh visibility was below minimums, tried twice to land, but no go! Headed to BOS after. Sucks but that’s part of traveling
