Snowy weather causes gridlock traffic at Logan Airport in Boston

Snowy weather snarls travel at Logan Airport and across the country ahead of Christmas 02:22

BOSTON – Holiday travel is in full swing with Christmas just days away and travelers at Logan Airport in Boston spent the day dealing with delays from snowy weather .

Delays nationwide

There was gridlock traffic at Logan as travelers embark on their holiday excursions. Donna Ragucci just flew into New England from Florida.

“I am so excited, I get to see my sister and we are going on the trolley today and North End,” Ragucci said.

AAA said snowy weather conditions on Friday led to delays, spinouts and disruptions with flights.

“Overall, we’ve seen a pretty strong volume, which is what we forecasted, a record number of people traveling this year,” said AAA Northeast spokesperson Mark Schieldrop. “There was a storm system that affected a good swath of the country, so Chicago and Boston are two major hub airports, so anytime you have delays or cancellations in one part of the country, we often see a little bit of a domino effect.”
