Re: Maximum crosswinds

What good does it do to seek "actual speed and wind speed numbers" unless you have real-time instantaneous readout of wind speed in your coach cockpit? The actual local winds can vary widely from online weather site predictions. Wind gusts well in excess of steady winds can occur at any time, anywhere. Microbursts can happen with out warning.
Depending on one single rigid Go-No-Go number might cause you unnecessary delay in one case, OR it might lead you to make a stupid move. Each driver must asses the actual weather conditions at their location, and taking into account all the many factors involved (including consulting with your crew), make the decision to either drive, or stay parked and wait it out..
