We all have Square Douglas Protractors, nicely calibrated and with a square grid. If N is the runway direction just mark off the wind direction relative to the runway, and the strength using the calibration marks. Now check how many squares abeam that is. There is you crosswind, you don't even need to draw it just use your fingers..
