In a little over a year, I've had 2 issues with DFW. One was weather, the other was a freak what I'd call mechanical (how often does a luggage truck hit a plane?).
I've had much much worse weather issues at CLT and PHL before the merger (I'm a HP/US person). I can't recall a single weather issue at I've run into at PHX.
But as noted, weather can happen anywhere. I have co-workers in MSP who constantly complain about weather issues there, which directly impact DL. They also complain about ATL. And I'm sure if we head over to the UA forum, we'd find issues at IAD...
Anywhere can have weather issues.
