I realize that the OP is just trying to be proactive, just in case.
If one does not fly a lot, they may think that even if they are on a non-refundable fare, that they will not be able to re-book because of weather or schedule change...It's why people who only post 2-5 times come to this forum. That's why we don't mock them. (not saying you did dave travels)

So, even though the weather reports are not looking good 9 days out.. if there are issues, delta will work with you to get to your destination even if you have a non-refundable fare. As others have posted, they may announce if there is a travel advisory. No need to worry this way out, but check the weather advisories daily.. That's what I do when I am flying this time of year where weather may be iffy. Most of the time the norther airports can handle this type of thing..
