Ok, Cleveland I get it you have terrible weather which causes numerous delays for connections through Hopkins. However, with all those months of snow and ice, you think Hopkins would be state of the art in terms of foul weather removal. I got stuck one time in Dulles during a blizzard and they had better strategies for getting flights out than Hopkins did for a few lake effect flurries when I was there.
It looks like they are trying to update their terminal a bit, however for a major hub (United), it seems like they forgave spending on terminal updates for a long time. However, I do give them a bit of credit as they are making the effort, but it now is causing a bit of a cramped feeling in the terminals.
Long story short: avoid Hopkins in the late fall/winter months.
