Windy Days?

Just wondering when you look at the forecast, what speeds/conditions cause you to think about re-routing or waiting a day before travel, etc.?
I consider a forecast of anything less than 15 MPH to be a blessing and a one hand on the wheel day. Cross winds of 15 to 25 usually keep both my hands on the wheel. Above 25 MPH can tire me out if more than 2 or 3 hours and I usually try to park somewhere if it looks like it is going to be a long event. Gusts of 40 MPH I try to avoid. With what I have done to my RV I can manage up to 40 MPH gusts but sure takes the enjoyment out of driving and can create a white knuckle experience.
