Honestly I think UA ops is holding off on figuring things out until the fog settles, since they must just scrub all or most of the day. Give me a minute and I can trace back the normal sequence and what's going on today.

Okay, so this is what normally happens in ACV:



Code:
Arrivals				Departures
12:01	SFO	5966	CR7		12:47	DEN	5226	CR7
13:19	DEN	5911	E75		14:11	SFO	4655	E75
14:23	SFO	5378	CR7		16:41	SFO	4628	CR7
14:46	LAX	5391	E75		15:38	LAX	5341	E75
20:26	SFO	4695	CR7	-RON-	06:19	SFO	5313	CR7

And this is the current state of affairs since the last UA frame left ACV at 06:13 yesterday morning (there have been no planes there since):


Code:
Arrivals			Frame	Actual	Actual	Frame	Departures

lx - internal code for cancel

Today's schedule out of ACV hasn't been assigned yet, and they are probably waiting to see if anything can fly into ACV today. If not, everything is going to cancel.

If ACV clears out for ops, the main problem is that there is a missing CR7 and N791SK is a little oversubscribed. I don't know if DEN will cancel or if the frame will do SFO-ACV-SFO-ACV (the delayed flight from last night followed by the morning service) and then continue on to DEN very late. Or the SFO turn could get canceled and the frame could do SFO-ACV-DEN.

Bottom line is that UA ops is waiting on the weather situation in ACV to make a call.
