EAST BOSTON (WHDH) – Crews worked to clear the runways at Logan Airport Christmas Day during the peak of the snowstorm.

Blinding snow and bitter cold forced the airport to shut down its runways Monday morning. Massport told 7News that for a brief time, no planes would land or take off.

Shortly after 11:30 a.m., crews at Logan were able to dig out and things were able to get moving again.

Massport said there was a light schedule on Christmas Day.

Even in the face of backups and delays, some travelers said they were just grateful to have made it home to see family this holiday season.
