A bit lower than the last time I went to Brazoria County..... which was, I think, the same day I went into Lakefront at minimums.

Cameras will not pick up the runway lights as soon as the eye will.

WOW the RVR is like 100 feet! What are the RVR minimums in a catIIIc?

This was the only approach getting airliners into Austin a few times these last couple months.

There are appropriate markings (but it can be an issue).

I was riding in back of a 767 that did a Cat III into ZRH one morning. We couldn't see beyond the wingtips. IIRC, there was a "follow-me" car and pavement lighting....
