No, I'm saying that if I got stuck in bad weather, I'd be very thankful for
instruments that worked.


Why, or better question HOW could this happen? Me: I'd be on the ground
already, or heading back the other way. I would *not* get trapped by
bad weather (and we have very fast changeable conditions in New
Zealand).

Yep... There are a number of ways to get a forecast, and if you're not
sure, ask an instructor. And then if you go anyway you've only got
your own dumb ass to blame!

I also believe anyone who forges ahead into bad weather without making
sure you can turn around and escape needs more training..
