Narrative:
I was cleared for the localizer approach at mwc. ATIS reported ceiling at 800 overcast and 3/8 mi visibility in snow and fog. My intentions were to make an approach to MDA, declare a missed, and proceed to the alternate. However upon reaching MDA the VASI on runway 15L was visible so I continued the approach and landed without incident. The tower continued to report visibility at 3/8 mi.
