Imrich,
Another thing to consider, they were probably clearing snow on 14-32. So this favored runway, 32 into wind was released for snow removal.
Then YHZ arbitrarily open up 05/23 with a 30 knot crosswind. How long would it have taken to get an approach to 32? It's another coupled/selected approach; LOC BC but at least they would be landing into the wind.
