ATR72 has a crosswind limit of 45 kts if I recall correct.
Limit is 35kt on a DRY RWY, 28kt on a WET RWY up to 3mm of water and beyond that it drops rapidily down to 16kt with 3-6mm water or slush.

The ATR is an aircraft that needs to be respected (not feared) in these conditions. Even if the approach was stable (not even close) it would be a tricky landing and possibly Captain only depending on what company you work for.
