In response to the OP, I'm not sure I would like to explain why I landed on a road. Unless it was my last resort ie, engine failure, due stress of weather.

The paddock however is a different kettle of fish and could quite possibly boil down to the farmers feelings (difficult to gauge, probably a 12 though). If it meets ala requirments and no damage is done, you should be able to talk your way out of it, after all, not every runway out there is 3000m, bitumen with an ILS, and not every aircraft needs that.

Having said that, I think I would rather make the call earlier to stay on the ground, head to aeroclub bar and skoll a schooner, then state there is no possibilty of flying even if people say the weather has improved. See, there is a benefit to DAMP's.
