Thanks--good to know the weather has been worse and is in fact bad enough to justify a ground stop. WN pax at OMA are apoplectic over the ground stop right now, FWIW. UA ones have already rebooked via DEN or tomorrow...
What's really annoying is that the same agent who checked us in at LNK is the one who announced the cancellation and asked everyone to return to check-in to be rebooked; I understand she may not have been aware of the ground stop at the time (it really was only 5 minutes later!), but we ended up being at the tail end of a long line and missed getting on the earlier DEN flights ex-LNK and had to drive to OMA because of that. UA's auto-rebooking insanely put us on ORD flights which are now nearly 3 hours delayed...
