Because this has to do with weather I really don't think it's anyones responsibility to give out accommodations or credits for people to stay in a hotel, or feed them. When it's snowing at 1ft per hour, it's really not the airports fault they can't keep the runway clean. It's for the safety of everyone that the plane remains on the ground.. This is something no one can control. It's not like the airports do this stuff for fun. It has to be pretty risky before they are willing to call it off, because when they do they instantly start to loose money.

I can understand everyone is probably angry, but if your angry at the airports or airlines then your directing it in the wrong place. No one can control mother nature. The only compensation that should happen in a case like this is a refund of the flight, because they didn't fly at the time they expected to. Nothing more, nothing less.

I can't say I wouldn't be very angry if this happened to me but logic would eventually take over and give me a nice back hand. No one controls the weather and while your plane might be fine on take off and/or flying, if something does happen, there are 100 families waiting in line to sue everyone responsible, because they should have delayed the flights in the first place.

People are funny like that.
