Wind speed - how high is safe?

In my locale, the prediction for tomorrow is winds of around 22 mph, in a direction that will be a headwind when I go home. My question is: What wind speed to people consider to be an upper limit for safe commuting? My bike is not particularly aero, and my normal cruising speed is around 14 mph.

I don't know what wind speeds I've dealt with in the past because I've never looked up the actual numbers.
