So, where/when can you fly in the clouds (IMC) without an IFR flight
plan & an ATC clearance?

In class G airspace.

I think there is also an exception for within 1/2 mile of the runway, but
it may be a "Clear of Clouds" exception, not an "In the Clouds" exception.

I'm too tired and lazy to look it up right now, especially because it's
more pilot trivia than practical piloting...
