There have been 36 delays and 79 cancellations at Logan Airport on Saturday.

The snow that fell in the Boston area Friday evening brought several inches to a wide swath of the area — and half a foot to parts of the city itself.

The winter storm hitting Boston Friday into Saturday had been expected to bring up to six inches of snow, and that forecast looked accurate, with various parts of Boston getting more than five inches, including Logan airport, according to the National Weather Service.

Milton, just south of the city, had even more snow — 6.5 inches.
