I just wanted to open a discussion regarding other's personal weather
minimums for VFR flights. I recently received my PPL ASEL certificate in
July and most of the days that I have flown have been very nice days.
Yesterday though I got caught a bit off guard and it prompted me to set a
few minimums for myself.

During training, I had to skip landing at a destination during a solo
cross-country trip because of winds. The wind was 20kts, gusts to
29kts, but it was almost straight down the runway so the cross-wind
component was probably within my limits. But the reason I passed on the
landing was that I was not comfortable with taxiing in that kind of
wind.

Here's a question I haven't found an answer to yet:
If you're using proper cross-wind correction during taxiing, how much of
a cross-wind can a 152 take? What personal limits do you have?
