They almost always will help you out if its going to be a significant delay. If you are elite or have access to Admiral's Club, its a little easier as those agents are not as overwhelmed. I have more trouble with delays due to weather in Chicago in May & June than in the winter. When those midwest thunderstroms hit, it just messes up the air traffic in almost the entire country (ORD and MSP usually get hit at the same time). Over the last 4 weeks, I've been hit with this, but have always been able to get around ORD somehow.
