Flight possibly delayed due to inclement weather

Flight possibly delayed due to inclement weather?
I am taking a return flight out of London Gatwick airport on the 24th to Philadelphia on US Airways (booked through Travelocity), with a final destination of Columbus in Ohio - arrival around 7 pm. UK infrastructure is awful and everyone has to panic over a couple of inches of snow, so it's possible that my return flight to the US on Thursday might be delayed since airports have closed a couple of times over 2-3 inches of snow and there is a 20-30% chance of snow throughout the week. I have a flight from Columbus to Tampa, Florida the next day on the 25th (connection in Atlanta), via Delta Airlines (booked on Priceline) early in the morning. Is there any way of me getting compensated for delaying the flight on the 25th that might get delayed due to the poor UK infrastructure/poor weather by US Airways?

No..........delayed because of weather will not constitute compensation..............

Sorry but since the airline doesn't control the weather or how well the airport handles inclement weather, no airline is going to compensate you.
