I believe the similar MDW closure Tuesday on the other thread states it is thru mid April (as a NOTAM placeholder) but they are trying to get it reopend in the next 2 days.

I was told this means one departure or arrival at a time. Basically grinds everything to a halt. Pilots report their position on final or on the ground for departure and basically separate themselves on the surface.

Flightaware is showing approx 40% cancel rate at LAS. Midway still hurting - assume from ATC issues there as well?
https://flightaware.com/live/cancelled
WN systemwide at 32% as of 10am

MDW still "uncontrolled"/Class E. Crap weather there today, so likely the carriers have mostly given-up:

With a strong southeast wind they would have to use runway 13C which only has an RNP approach and a short turn to final (due to ORD traffic) in the soup... that's all folks.
