PILOT WAS EXPERIENCING COMMUNICATIONS DIFFICULTIES, DIVERTED FROM DESTINATION TO NEARBY UNCONTROLLED ARPT DUE TO TRAFFIC CONSIDERATIONS. PLT WAS UNABLE TO CONTACT UNICOM AND ELECTED TO CIRCLE FOR TRAFFIC AND WIND EVALUATION. BEST RUNWAY FOR WIND DIRECTION WAS SELECTED AND APPROACH COMMENCED. ON FINAL, PILOT NOTED RATE OF DESCENT RELATIVE TO GROUND SPEED INDICATED A STRONGER HEADWIND THAN ORIGINALLY THOUGHT, BUT DID NOT INCREASE POWER TO COMPENSATE. TOUCH DOWN WAS SHORT OF THRESHOLD IN PLOWED AREA, CAUSING AIRCRAFT TO NOSE DOWN IN SOFT TERRAIN. AFTER DEPLANING, PILOT EVALUATED WIND AT 15-20 KTS.
