With weather related problems: no. What I don't understand is that you had the option of flying to LON without having to take an overnight in DTW. Why didn't you take it? IMHO, unless I'm misunderstanding you, you should have had no recourse because you agreed to the 24 hour delay when it could have been a lot less. That said, I'm sure NW will throw some miles your way.
