Much easier on a high-winger to land in a stiff crosswind - aileron into the wind, rudder the nose onto the runway canterline. Upwind main gear touches first, then downwind, then nose. Not really feasible with say, a 737, which has just 18 inches or so of clearance between the engine cowl and the runway.
