I have a feeling, that in the arid, treeless wastes above the Arctic Circle the wind gradient is not so steep. You'd be surprised. There's a lot more to the wind speed difference between winds at 9000 feet and the surface than merely surface friction. Be that as it may, I'd be reluctant to taxi a C-172 in anything approaching 20 knots on the surface.
