Where do you draw the line on IMC and weather challenges?

These are all good points. I can remember being extremely proficient, and taking off with little forward visibility. I was familiar with the place, knew where the trees were, and went. Sometime later, I was less than proficient, and found my self wandering shortly after takeoff. So, I think, your minimums need to be modified by your current sense of proficiency, no matter what your past experience has been.
