Once. http://pad39a.com/gene/flypix0.html

When I was a primary student my instructors (two) did not figure any
wind less than the airplanes capabilities was an excuse for canceling.
I hated it at the time, but I was thankful they put me through that
when I did my first long cross country. A bunch of lake effect snow
storms popped up between "the straights" and TVC. Had I not been
thoroughly tested in those conditions it would have scared the crap
out of me.

My biggest fear was the wind getting under the tail when headed for
the transient parking ramp and doing what it did to you.
