you should be able to fly in conditions where the windsock is
horizontal from any direction.


I can't say I agree with this. I think it's worth pointing out that a
windsock is horizontal at 150 kts, just the same as it is at 15 kts.


At 15 kts, the sock is horizontal. At 150 kts, the pole it's mounted on is
horizontal.
