The IMC part was unintentional. A previous PIREP and the weather briefing put the ceilings much higher and it was a hazy making it hard to judge on the ground. In hind sight I should have called ATL center to get clearance before takeoff. Oh, well.

I've been there. Early departure. Ceilings lower than reported. Not optimal but easy to do. Many of the airports I used to operate out of you couldn't raise anyone on the ground, (and this was before cell phones). It's a good lesson learned.
