Turn on the pitot heaters when flying in or near clouds to correct your altimeter problems, airspeed gauge can be affected too.

Also, when flying in aircraft with a carburetor, turn on your carb heat. I flew through a cloud yesterday in a G.50 to see what would happen (there's no carb heat on the G.50) and sure enough, shortly before exiting the cloud my engine seized.
