Sometimes, if the weather is so bad, I have been known to stay at home during home exchanges. It helps that I am abroad for large chunks of time so that a day "lost" here and there is not a disaster. In March I did an exchange in Salzburg. It rained or snowed every day except for the day before I left. Some of the rain was torrential. I saw all the museums and did little outdoors. It wasn't the best, but no one can guarantee weather on vacation.

Always bring a book with you.
