I'm sure there was some nasty weather that day. But the reason for delay was not incurred on your flight nor on the one immediately preceding it. However, a positive decision was taken to use a delayed aircraft, running four hours late and run your flight the same four hours late. That's why you have spare aircraft and standby crews - or cough up!

Reason: swap "just" for "the same" - trying to say what I mean.
