Was the ground stop in effect for all departure airports?

If the snow was expected to be over and the airfield cleared in an hour, it's possible the FAA might have only stopped traffic originating from Minneapolis (ZMP) and adjacent ATC enroute center airspaces like ZAU, ZDV, ZKC.

I've also seen carrier specific ground stops. Any chance it was only DL flights?
