Touchdown! Greaser!
Well, I had a very rewarding oral IR exam today. I was nervous and got very little sleep (yes, I know, a Captain Ron violation), but I had a successful oral exam, and received some great insight from a very experienced aviator.
However, due to the little hurricane over Wisconsin today, I experienced some ADM and elected to defer the flying portion until next week. METARS were:

We were scheduled to fly around 1600Z. I'm disappointed I couldn't finish it today, but I think I got some points for ADM by recommending that we defer today (even though the DPE wouldn't conduct the flying portion in IMC anyway).
So far, my IR checkride was not nearly as bad as I had envisioned. I'm looking forward to the flying portion.
