It was good of the airline to do that, I actually wonder how many times it happens around the world considering the weather is out of anyone's control.
I've had the night in a hotel situation happen, I mentioned the stork in my post above...the airline gave me a taxi card and accommodation, even paid for additional toiletries and food; I thought it wasn't too back considering they had to do so for a great many people, and the delay wasn't even their fault.
