There are many debates on the subject, but I believe you can legally fly (and log) in IMC in uncontrolled airspace; obviously without the clearence.
It is a completely differnet discussion as to whether that is a good idea or not.
Well according to the AOPA, it is allowed.. From the AOPA advisory circular
http://www.aopa.org/asf/publications/sa02.pdf:
"Many pilots do not know that IFR flight without a
clearance is permitted in uncontrolled airspace,
provided that the pilot is instrument-rated and the
aircraft is equipped for instrument flight."
BTW I was in Class E airspace...
