Touring with wind

Yesterday I had to ride home for about 8 miles into a 20 mph headwind. Today, its supposed to get to 60 F here but with sustained wind speeds of 30 mph and gusts in excess of 50 mph. I think that I may skip riding and miss the warm weather today.

How do you cope with heavy wind while touring? Do you take a day off and stay in camp/lodging? What's your headwind limit to keep going? BTW, according to an article I read, wind is a hindrance for 200 out of 360 degrees (or 5/9) of the compass directions.
