Human Factors; Weather
Weather checks were performed before departing ZZZ; weather was forecasted to be VFR at the time of arrival in ZZZ1.XM Weather services are not available in the Aircraft in [state].  Approaching ZZZ1 from the North encountered scattered snow showers.  Contacted Center to request special VFR entry into the Class E surface area as there was no suitable divert option.  Center denied the request as the airfield AWOS was now reporting 1/4 mile.  Center asked what are your intentions.  At that point I advised ATC and Center said to maintain special VFR.  I was unable to maintain special VFR conditions and initiated a climb in accordance with company procedures.  I then requested the ILS to Runway XX.  Center advised the 3000 feet was minimum for IFR clearance.  I then broke on top at 1;500 feet and advised Center that I was on top.  I continued the climb VFR to 3;000 feet; received a squawk code and a clearance for the ILS to RWY XX.  From that point on the flight visibility was approximately 2 miles.  Executed the ILS to RWY XX had the runway in sight at 300 feet.  Landed at the Ramp and canceled the IFR clearance. Fuel remaining was 0+45.
