IFR rating?

If you're current, if the forecast at your destination is well above your
personal minimums, if you have a solid gold alternate, no imbedded
thunderstorms, no icing, no unusual turbulence reported, why whouldn't you
go?

There are many variations on all these issues.

Are you current in the exact airplane? In that model? Is low IMC weather
forecast and if so is it forecast locally or over a wide range?

Is there a front causing the weather and if so what would be the consequence
if the front slowed down or sped up?

If an approach is required, will wind permit this to be straight-in or
circling? If circling, have you done that recently?

What if there is no solid-gold alternate and the weather is forecast to be
800-2 everywhere within your airplane's range -- would that be easier or
harder than if your alternate is forecast to 200 - 1/2 with a 3000-10
alternate?

The possibilities are endless.
