Ahead of record snowfall, the Houston Airport System announced the closure of Bush and Hobby Airports on Tuesday. By midday, both airports remained closed.

HOUSTON — All Houston airports will close Tuesday due to the winter storm expected in the area, officials said Sunday. An arctic front with wintry precipitation is expected to move into the area overnight Monday.

"Our dedicated teams will remain on-site 24-7, working diligently to prepare for a swift and safe return to normal operations when weather permits," airport officials said.
