According to the following METAR, what is the temperature-dewpoint spread
at GON?

Scenario
========

Much of our IFR flying happens in the fuzzy world of instrument rules in
visual conditions. What happens when a pressing situation puts your
instincts at odds with your clearance, especially when ATC doesnt seem the
least bit concerned? Is it OK to act first and tell ATC later, or do you
need permission to deviate?
