HelmetFire, my point about bad weather is that whilst showers and the like are easier to spot on goggles, a gradual reduction in visibility due to mist or precipitation that takes you below your VFR minima is not. I have used goggles to help see the runway lights through cloud on an ILS when I really had to and avoided a diversion which would have been bad for the casualty.
