Reminds me of the time I flew into Carlsbad NM one day when the field was
IFR. Shot the ILS.

The controllers were clearly out of practice and rusty in handling actual
IFR operations, and overwhelmed by the workload of two airplanes
approaching
the airport at the same time. I had to prompt them a couple of times to
get
the next vector. Turns out that on average they only get a few hours of
IMC
a year out there.


If the tower closes at night, that might be so; most rain out west is night
time thunderstorms.
