The arrival of the Beast from the East has led to the cancellation of a number of business events across Grampian as guest speakers and entertainers remain stranded in other parts of the UK.
The Energy Institute dinner was due to take place last night but is in the process of being rescheduled as snow storms hit the country.
And the annual Aberdeen Young Professional (AYP) ball which was due to go ahead tonight has now been rescheduled for later next month.
The event is firmly etched in the diaries of local entrepreneurs, including 44-year-old Mark Kemp. He will be attending the glamorous black-tie event as one of the panel members, along with Mechelle Clark from Melt and Foodie Quine Claire Jessiman.
Hosting and chairing will be E4 Made in Chelsea’s Francis Boulle, who is an entrepreneur as well as a familiar face on the television.
Last year, AYP introduced their successful mentor scheme and awards for this will take place during the ball, which is sponsored by Petersons, now taking place on April 20.
Petersons regional director of operations Chris Coull said: “As principal sponsor of the Aberdeen Young Professionals ball 2018 we are looking forward to welcoming everyone on the 20th April. Safety is always our main priority at Peterson therefore we fully support the decision to reschedule the ball and avoid putting anyone attending or involved at risk.”
The ball will take place at the Doubletree by Hilton Treetops, Aber- deen.
Tickets include welcome drinks, three-course meal, panel discussion, networking and live entertainment. Tickets are available from www.aypgroup.co.uk/ ayp-ball.html
