Airlines like to blame the weather any chance they get. Not defending them but being on the other side of the counter is a differerent perspective.
If the crew wasn't there and was coming in from somewhere else but were delayed/canceled because of weather in that area, then they will blame weather for canceling the flight you were on. A snowball (no pun meant) effect.
Some will argue that reserves should have been called out. I agree. I can't speak for why they weren't. Only give possible reasons why not which will sound like excuses.
