UA3539 DCA-ORD cancelled due to "airport conditions" -- looks to be a proactive cancel to reposition a/c as frame is instead ferrying DCA-LFT
UA5716 DCA-ORD cancelled wx

Looks like the snow hasn't even hit ORD yet and they're going crazy on cancels. Not a good night for DCA-ORD. I was on the earlier flight and was rebooked DCA-EWR-MSP with that 36 minute connection that today is slated to be an A-C transfer (but it preserved my upgrade when auto-rebooking). I called in and tried to pitch the agent on the nonstops on either DL or AA in F, but she said their desks "didn't have space" and would only take the ticket in Y (flights were J2 and J9 respectively)... ended up taking positive space onto IAD-MSP nonstop, so we'll see how that goes. Not sure what policy/possibilities are around that, but figured since the original coupon was in Y, it was pushing my luck to get OALed in F.

Tomorrow is shaping up to be messy.

ed. to add, nobody bothered to tell me my flight was canceled; I just happened to notice since I check the UA app several times a day out of habit.
