2 fields IMC, one limited basically to 1 runway... makes for some very good listening today.

Go back even farther on your METARS.  This is what I was looking at deciding go/no go on my lesson this morning.

Basically clear.

And my home airport, basically in a little bowl, is still not out of it.  1/16th mile!  330 feet!  They probably couldn't see the terminal from the tower.

At BUF, the tower is in the bases and can't see the terminal with 200 and 1/2.

M1/4 means less than 1/4 mile visibility.

Now that is fog.   4 miles visibility is a clear day after shooting approaches in the above conditions!
