If your FBO has a certified weather observer on staff ATC will have that
observation.

Steve,

What's your take on this situation?

There was an accredited weather observer on the ground at KEPM. KEPM
rarely in the past would report weather to Bangor Radio, but did not on
this particular day.

I contacted this observer on 122.8 and obtained the visibility from him. I
then relayed this information to ATC and told them it was from an
accredited observer.

I was then cleared for a contact approach.
