Farmer 1,
I think the point I am making, is that instead of flying marginally by your self, you may inform ATC of it (they don't know) so that you safely get out the bad weather, using their information and improving a lot the communication, so reducing work load.
The fact that they were informed, also made me put down the heli faster, not pushing it. Probably it helped that weather was much worse than predicted, so ATC had some emphaty with my situation.
