They weren't kidding about that 1/16 mile. It was weird, I had no trouble picking up the lights for KJFK 13L at 6 miles and 1800', and did an uneventful ILS approach and landing, but once I was on the ground, I could see virtually nothing. I literally almost hit the terminal building before I saw it!
That was odd. I was expecting solid soup down to the deck, but the approach and landing weren't bad at all--I could easily see lights on the ground at 3000' AGL.
Flying out of Detroit back to Atlanta now. The JFK-ATL flight would take too long, there's 100+ knot southerly winds at FL350 over the Carolinas up to Jersey, pushing that storm along. I was doing 575 groundspeed at one point.
