In a book I read a while ago, Dick Collins recommended changing the
'go/nogo' decision to a 'start/continue' decision.  The 'continue'
portion is constantly re-examined as the flight progresses.  I've found
this oulook on weather flying to be very valuable -- it helps break the
'well, here I am, and I decided to do it, so I bettger do it' syndrome.
