Now these are general statements but the specifics tend to be important. One aspect that may be relevant here is if another airline is operating parallel services on the day in question, and another is not, then that would perhaps point to something that isn't extraordinary. But even that isn't conclusive, e.g. different equipment may explain different outcomes.

Also doesn't the airline still have a duty of care re hotel/meal costs even if due to weather?
The airline could have at least waited until the day to cancel if the airport was still closed.
