If you are delayed, get this tool up. It is a huge informational advantage over the data the airline will give you and provides excellent help making a decision on seeking a different mode of transportation, giving up and going home, taking an inferior seat on a different airline etc…
Didnt expect this to trend on HN. I used to travel every week for work and learned to used this and fly.faa.gov/ois to find out how long ground stops will be during delays for years.
While I'm on this soapbox: ExpertFlyer. If you travel once per month or more, it is ABSOLUTELY worth the $10/mo. They provide a lot of info straight from GDSes, somehow. Invaluable for rebooking and seat changes.
When I looked SFO, DEN, LAS, and EWR were all delayed due to weather. Do busier airports end up on this list more for some reason, or is it just really bad luck today?

FlightAware's MiseryMap is pretty cool too https://www.flightaware.com/miserymap/

Use this all the time for flying, it's fantastic. Great to know you'll be delayed before they even make the decision.
Highly recommend the 'Map View' tab and the 'Weather' tab (especially with Cities + Fronts enabled).
