NRT-DEN ended up being canceled (since DEN-NRT diverted to HND)... hopefully you're not spending the night in the airport

so in sum due to weather at NRT:
out of the inbound flights on 6/27 (departed the US 6/26):
UA79 EWR-NRT, UA143 DEN-NRT, UA803 IAD-NRT all diverted to HND
UA803 then continued on about 1h30 later into NRT arriving 4 hours late; later that evening the 77W from EWR and the 788 from DEN both ferried empty HND-NRT as UA2792 and 2794 respectively.
UA7 IAH-NRT and UA32 LAX-NRT arrived on time, UA837 SFO-NRT delayed 1h30, UA881 ORD-NRT delayed 2h and UA903 HNL-NRT delayed 4h30 due to aircraft maintenance (of course).
and out of the NRT departures on 6/27:
UA838 NRT-SFO, UA142 NRT-DEN cancelled due to weather
UA804 NRT-IAD delayed 5 hours and diverting to SFO to recrew
UA882 NRT-ORD and UA902 NRT-HNL delayed 2 hours due to weather/late inbound
and NRT-LAX/IAH/EWR all delayed about an hour due to weather
also two extra sectors scheduled on 6/28 UA2817 NRT-SFO and UA2818 NRT-DEN.
in other news DL's NRT-ATL also cancelled since the inbound ATL-NRT had to divert to HND, and NH NRT-JFK delayed 6 hours due to weather but eventually made it out. AZ also had FCO-NRT divert to HND and cancelled NRT-FCO so that makes 4 widebodies' worth of pax stuck in T1.

Perhaps they were removing ice that was no longer in that state. I was once involved in a delay due to "fish". The ice they'd been packed in had melted, the fish were rotten and the hold was a huge puddle of rotten-fishy smelling water that had once been ice. I was happy they delayed the fight for some mopping up.
It’s about 90 degrees in DC today. Hopefully the de-icing process doesn’t take too long.

NRT has one runway that is slightly longer than the longest runway at HND, but I'd imagine the key factor as previously mentioned as the distance between the two airports resulting in different weather conditions, and also HND has a pair of crosswind runways.
Not sure if approach paths matter, seems like typical NRT approach is in from the Pacific Ocean and the typical HND approach is from Tokyo Bay.

NRT only has runways in one, same direction. When the cross winds are too strong to land, that's it.
HND has runways in different directions. Winds can be just as strong, but there should be at least one runway direction usable for landing.
