One of the problems with our (ufgatorpilot and I) area is that it's either really clear or tstorms with extreme precip...usually IMC lasts only minutes...especially this time of year. I guess we could find it, but it's usually always lifting action that makes yellow stuff go to red in no time at all.
As far as IMC and vertigo...it's a mental game of telling yourself that the instruments are right...and verify that they are.
Best of luck to the OP
