In this video you see the crew of a Boeing BBJ executing an ILS approach with runway in sight. Just as they approach minimums, a really intense patch of precipitation appears, causing them to go completely into IMC probably 2-300 feet above the runway. They're extremely calm while executing the missed approach and to me it's a great example of why briefing procedures before executing them can have some live saving benefits.
