(not that you will see this, Matt, since you KF'ed me)

What you wrote is certainly true. Given roughly the same location as Paul
(the OP of this thread) was about to cross, another pilot opted to scud run
a couple of years ago and ended up crashing into terrain, killing himself
and the majority of his family. A real tragedy.
