I'm confused. The text you quote mentions ATC, but then you mention United trying to blame weather delays. Yes, there are currently no reported ATC delays, but I reckon deicing counts as a weather delay, so it's possible to have weather delays. So, I'm not sure where you're going with this. ATC != Weather?
EDIT: I see now (Ground stop/hold for flights going into DEN due to deicing snarling traffic at DEN), but I still think this is probably counted as a weather delay since the root cause is deicing.
