I suspect you mean in Colorado a couple of years ago where the relatively junior captain was not "cleared" under their rules to land at an airfield where visibility was poor, but still OK for the aeroplane and amore senior captain.

Al the procedures were followed safely (unlike with fake captains), Whether or not the flight should ever have been dispatched depends what TAF said.
