Weather can't be helped.
It would be nice to predict the weather and air traffic patterns from other diverted cities so that we may be able to tell you when you are going to depart the airport. What you ask for is an impossible answer from a human being. If the agent at the airport lied to you by promising your departure at a specific time, either that person was stressed and was trying to make you happy to go away or that person indeed is a liar and is holding out on everyone by not being a fortune teller. Either one of those, I agree, is not a reason to lie to someone and I assure you not all agents are that way. But please don't blame the airline for weather delays. You have no idea what is going on behind the scene or up in the sky. Your safety is the biggest concern.
