Unfortunately, that affected cross country flights. The SW CEO admitted they have infrastructure problems aka out-dated software and technology. But there are also personnel problems. For instance, many of the ground crew in Denver called in fake sick because they didn’t want to work in such conditions without weather-proof equipment and protective clothing which they didn’t have. That caused a chain reaction that badly screwed things up along with all the other things that were going on simultaneously.

The "weather event" (if that's the term you prefer) spanned most of the entire country, from the Pacific Northwest to the east coast. Parts of Texas had no power.
I'm not reading any actual reports of fake sick-calls in Denver. Only that there were more callouts than usual.
