THE PILOT STATED THAT DURING A VOR APPROACH, HE BROKE OUT AT 600 FT AND GOT THE RUNWAY IN SIGHT. HE REPORTED THAT THE VISIBILITY DROPPED FREQUENTLY, BUT HE WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE RUNWAY IN SIGHT UNTIL HE WAS ABOUT 200 YARDS FROM THE RUNWAY. HE STATED THAT THE VISIBILITY WENT TO ZERO AT THAT POINT. HE INITIATED A MISSED APPROACH, AND AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME, THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK A PINE TREE, BUT CONTINUED FLYING. THE PILOT DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND REQUESTED RADAR VECTORS TO MCGUIRE AFB.
