We pushed back at SDF pretty much on-time, but then ran into a weather-related ground stop at BWI so we weren't allowed to take off. After about 25 minutes parked off to the side, we returned to a gate so people could use bathroom, FAs could pass out snacks, etcWe eventually departed over an hour late. When we got to BWI, by the time we deplaned and piwer-walked from C gates to B gates, plane was gone. It had left on-time, we arrived probably 4 minutes after departure time.

First two flights the next day were full, didn't have space until 2:15pm. Got ourselves a hotel, and both had to take an extra vacation day

I've emailed Southwest to express my thoughts on the situation. I know they're not obligated to do anything because the delay was weather-based, but I figured I'd see if they offer any kind of goodwill gesture. It kinda sucks that we were delayed because of the weather at the connecting airport, but the other flight was able to land, turn around and leave on-time.
