IMC that is sufficiently benign for the average instrument trainer is

Stormscope, that grounds you.

That really does depend where. In the Rockies, IMC usually means
cumulonimbus, cumulo-granite, severe icing, heavy turbulence.

On the other hand, during my instrument training in New England I
accumulated 6 hours of actual, some of it low enough to log "real"
missed approaches (including one off an ILS).
