Experience has taught me. If the winds are stronger than forcast, the wx
is moving faster than forcast too. And many others concerning the Lakes.

When you entered IMC, why not do a 180 degree turn? Why would you
think/wait for "atc to save you? I think here in Canada PP's are still
taught to do the 180 on instruments to maintain vfr. Least they succumb
in 178 seconds....
