Utilising Rwy 07 for departures is not a mode that's particularly efficient. It can have pretty dramatic effects on the operation of the airport so it's generally only used as a last resort when wind conditions or other weather necessitates it.

As Chris said, during summer when the big nor-easters blow they'll go to it if they absolutely have to, but with a nor-easter blowing it essentially rules out Rwy 34R being used for either arrivals or departures, and it creates havoc on the international and domestic side for moving aircraft around.
