Default Directional control after touchdown...

I've got a question for the group. Suppose you find yourself in the
following situation:

You are flying a C182, landing on runway 22. The ATIS lists the winds
as 240 at 10. The windsock is not visible.

[...]

That is not a lot of wind, and it's certainly not a lot of crosswind (get
out the whiz wheel). The result that you were experiencing has to be from
some other cause... perhaps ATIS was wrong?

So... what I'd suggest is to pay attention to what the plane *is* doing
rather than the theory of what it should be doing based on ATIS.
