No. Airlines do not compensate for "acts of god" aka weather. You're lucky they put you on a flight the next morning...I was once delayed for 3 days due to a single night of fog.

No. Weather delays are out of the airline's control and in the US, travellers are not compensated for weather-related expenses.

The only time an airline is required to compensate you is if the delay/cancellation was due to a factor under their control. Unfortunately, they are not required to do anything for you.

The airlines are not obligated to pay for a room stay or food vouchers when your delay is due to weather or air traffic because it is a delay that is not in their control. If your flight was delayed or cancelled under what would be their control, i.e maintenance or crew delaly, they would put you up for the night. Unfortunately you're stuck with the cost of the night stay in the hotel
