I lost something like 14 hours out of a 48 hour trip on AA a few months ago due to weather elsewhere in the system (not along our route) and got nothing when I wrote in...... However, if the issue was mechanical and not even remotely weather related, you may still be able to make a case and get a few miles. If the delay was weather related - even just affecting the plane coming into your departure location from somewhere else - forget it.
