I like practicing in actual but I'd stay away from that weather.
- 1/8SM and 200 in fog with 12/12 says to me that it could go zero/zero
in a sec. I can practice misses under the hood.
- Combined with 12G18 or whatever says to me that a cell has just
entered the picture because you rarely get 12Ganything with fog...

Not arguing here - just reacting. At this point and skill level, I
don't practice actual to mins - I save that for the hood and for real
live mistakes.

Gotta think more about that.

Assuming there were a sutable alternate airport and the C172 contained
adequate fuel, I view this weather as excellent conditions for
training, since a real missed approach seems to be a rarity for those
of us who are not professionals.
