Default RE: how much wind is generally too much?

We have a weather station at the field which is transmitted over our web site. The wind indicator is Green from 0-15 Yellow 16-33 & Red 34-50.

The guys who set it up do a lot of flying including 225mph+ turbine powered planes.

I found that 10+ taxes my skills in a crosswind but is manageable when its down the runway. Gusting winds in the green zone are troublesome for me on landing.

Am looking at the video feed of the field right now with wind @ 13.8mph gusting to 17.3mph from the south which is straight down the runway & the big planes are flying
