I got my IR last August and finally got to log my 1st post-checkride
actual
approach. All while the airport I was landing at was reporting 10 miles
and
clear below 12,000. More like 1,200. All day long this place was
reporting
clear skies. All day long it varied between 1,200 and 1,700.

Usually they're pretty good with the AWOS.

I didn't get the chance to file a Pirep, but ATC found out about the clouds
thru me. Although that doesn't help the guy planning a flight. 20 miles to
the north west it was perfectly clear.
