I don't advocate scud running for one minute, however if you're caught up in a lowering ceiling/vis situation, you need to reduce a/s and lower the stall speed. This is done of course by lowering flap, not to mention helps lower the nose. Then turn around and get the hell out.
It can be likened to driving at night with dimmed lights on an unlit country road. You need to slow down as not to "out drive" the range of your headlights, therefore visibility..
When is the time to turn back? When you first think about it. Most of us don't of course and there lies the risk.
