Angry First flight delayed, missed connecting flight...compensation?

We flew JB 2694 on 11/25 from NAS to FLL, scheduled take off time was 628pm, but didn't take off till 803pm. which caused us to miss our connecting flight that was scheduled at 910pm.
they did provide us a hotel room for the night and got us on the next flight out at 7am. when I asked about meal voucher, it was told there was none.

Via chat, they send me an email for verification of the delay, citing "Due to late arrival of equipment"...but didn't mention anything about this causing us to miss the next flight.
Now that I am trying to get a hold of someone at Jetblue via phone, they are now saying the delay is due to "weather" ???

So the first question is, assuming it's not weather (cuz it's "uncontrollable') do I get any compensation for a delayed flight that caused us to miss our connecting flight and had to stay overnight?
The second would be, why are they trying to wiggle out of this by saying it's weather related? Weather at both FLL and NAS was beautiful : )
