When there are overnight flight delays, I've seen DL staff at MSP stand in the hotel shuttle bus area to help confused passengers and pass out bottles of water.

Maybe we're just Minnesota nice?
I've seen news reports today about Laguardia pulling out cots and blankets last night for stranded passengers. I know other US airports have recently too. It's not all doom and gloom and treat everyone like cattle in the US.
Couple years ago I took my daughter to LGA for a flight back to college, a big snow hit a couple days earlier and things were just getting back to normal, for being a couple days after Christmas. Tons of people were waiting for the next available flight, camped out on cots. Surreal scene.
