How does an airline like Delta reposition their planes the day after a major
shutdown like happened over the weekend in Atlanta due to ice?
They must have a lot of planes stranded in a lot of locations other than
Atlanta that makes repositioning for the next days schedules difficult. I
wonder how this is accomplished.

It isn't just the planes, it is also the crews. And their scheduling
software, if good enough, will help them do that.
Comair had similar software, but it failed because it was unable to cope
with so many changes/problems in the same month.
