South Anderson Drive at Bridge of Dee was also closed for a time as cars became stuck in the heavy snow.
A Met Office spokesman said there had been a “risk” of snow, but it failed to foresee the huge amount that fell around the city.
The bad weather saw motorists stuck in huge jams across Aberdeen, many grinding to a halt at traffic lights.
