CRJ-200 X-Wind limit is 27 knots for a wet or dry runway

Example:
Runway 36 Dry or Wet (Grooved rwy)
090/27G45....NEW interpretation is "within limits"
090/28.........NEW interpretation is "not within limits"

Runway 36 contaminated with 1 inch snow:
090/15G30....NEW interpretation is "within limits"
090/16.........NEW interpretation is "not within limits"

How unsafe!!!!!
At Skywest we don't have a crosswind limitation. We are trained to 30KTS and our SOP says that the max demonstrated is 27KTS but is not considered limiting. The Captain makes all landings with over a 20KT crosswind. I've seen Captains land with up to 35KTS crosswind.
