Unfortunately, delayed then cancelled due to weather. As much as the airlines wish they had control over the elements or ATC, those things can not be planned for. and as it is not due to any fault of their own, typically no compensation can be offered. Airlines do not have complete crews sitting at every airport 24/7 "just in case". If they did you would see your ticket prices skyrocket. No business can operate with several times the staff on payroll as it normally takes to operate the flights.
