I am scheduled to fly DCA-ORD-SFO in the midst of this. If ORD is a mess, UA is likely to rebook me IAD-XXX-SFO the next morning. Is there any chance I can get my return changed to IAD as well, since that is where my car will be? What magic words need to be spoken to make this happen?

Yup. Hotel booked. Watching the weather closely. If it's forecasting sun and decent temps a couple days before I'll probably chance it since it is a 3.5hr connection.

I got notified about this by UA and rebooked my LHR-ORD-STL flight tomorrow as LHR-IAH-STL. The problem is the 3-5 inches of snow which was originally scheduled to hit Chicago around midnight and they think may now be as early as 6 pm.

Yes, though in this case the snow that is the cause of this waiver is the mild weather, before we plunge down to -17 F on Wednesday.

Hopefully hits as early as possible on 1-27-19. Get it over with so Monday morning outbounds are not affected as much

And the many miles of taxi ways, runways, tarmac and other road surfaces you have to keep clear in order for not only planes but support vehicles to traverse in and around ORD for airport operations to continue.
