It has to get below 1000 and 3? I live out west where an actual 10 mile
viz day really sucks. I'm not going anywhere at 1000/3. I'm not
setting off for the midwest if the viz is less than 10 east of the
Missouri, because that means the weather is about to be **** poor.

Hey, here in Iowa 1000 and 3 is doable. Remember, there's no high
terrain to hit here!

In the northeast in the summer, 1000 and 3 is considered CAVU! :-)

What about that tall corn? And beanstalks -- are they painted/strobed?

....But there are tall towers. I remember navigating across Iowa under
a cieling and in crappy visibility using mainly pilotage (this was
before the day of GPS, and the only
VOR within range was OTS). Most of the towers were where they were
supposed to be, but one in particular (that we knew was out there) was
never spotted. Spooky.
I put in an ADF after that trip (and it came in handy a few times).

Yeah, there are some hot, sticky days in August when there is so much
moisture in the air that it's like flying inside a ping-pong ball.
It's legal VFR, but it sure ain't pretty.

"Knee high by the Fourth of July" is what the NOTAMs will read for Iowa.

Now, in Oklahoma it's a different story.

"Gig"' , and just who the hell might you be? And why is it that you
would want to know who the hell it is that I am? Do you ask others on
Usenet this question. Can I not be who I am without a long
distingushed history on Google? You cut me to the quick, "Gig", but I
would respectfully submit that you are presenting quite the paradox in
that a person must have an identity to post here, but he cannot have
an identity without having posted here "AWHILE". How long have you
been here? What are your qualifications to post here?
