Also, I wonder what type of flyer doesn't arm themselves with data while flying in this type of situation. I mean, my phone has FlightAware, FlightStats, PlaneFinder, FlightRadar24; other apps that give me airport data.
I'm often giving the gate agent up to date information, and know of flight cancellations before they and others do.
How can someone not easily determine it was the inbound that was late, and that WX was having an impact, and there were big blaring notices that BOS was under delays in and out?
Do people really travel data-blind?

My grandma would have no idea what to do either... not all of us are FTers!
Added: Nevermind, my grandma would call me to find out. So I guess she has experience.

Many forget that we get on board a metal tube at 11,000m to travel at 900km/h.
Stand around a gate during IRROPS and you'll hear a lot of stuff like "but it's just wind" or "why is rain a problem, is the plane made out of chocolate?"
Even some that fly several times a year aren't super aware of how "fragile" the whole thing is until they hit a few nasty situations, and eventually look for tools to help predict potential issues. Or even pull up the weather forecast at all lol
How was yesterday in BOS though? YUL was supposed to be pretty bad but ended up getting nicely spared. Even had a cool downtown air show.
