I have landed the 72 in some pretty bad conditions on 7,000ft ruways that have been snow covered. I never did have any problems, but that was in the 72 which is a great short field A/C. But we had NO fixed rules, it was up to the PIC. The only time I turned down a landing was on a snow covered runway, 6,000ft. 90 degree crosswind of 20kts gusting to 30. The 72 could have probably handled it if it had to, but we didn't have to land and I went somwehere else. So in my opinion with a 7kt quartering headwind, I don't see any problem.
