Like you said in your original report, you found out the night before, and then shrugged it off and went to sleep. You never mentioned calling at all until after you woke up.

As someone who
has been stuck in NYC during a blizzard like occurrence (Jan 2005), I fully understand what needs to be done. I showed up early to the airport once I saw the weather was going to be bad. I got moved to an earlier flight, and thought I was safe once I was on the plane. After a number of deicing attempts and worsening weather, back to the gate I went.
Getting a hotel was difficult, but I managed to find one. I immediately called the airline, and got a flight out the next day out of EWR (I had been going out of LGA). Was it easy? No. Was it fun? No. Do I blame the airline? No.
If you really think that Delta never has problems, you're in for a huge shock.
