My husband and I fly to Munich in late February, return 20 days later in mid-March. We wanted to see Croatia and Slovenia after spending 4-5 days in Munich(visited it in 2000), but are now concerned it'll be too cold (Llubjana temperature is supposed to be around 32 F freezing then) and everything will be closed. We wondered if Istria might have things to see, places to stay, in a more-moderate climate. Or perhaps fly (small local airline) to Dubrovnik where it'll be ~50 degrees F, better for walking, exploring sights and museums. Although we ski, we're trying to keep within a budget and to pack light. The airfare was a good deal, but now I'm wondering if it was a mistake. We're retired, but care for our grandson three days/week. One reason we purchased tickets for this time was that we don't need to care for our grandson at that time, so it was our window of opportunity. Any tips or suggestions? Thank you.

No one can predict weather. You will enjoy that part of Europe at that time of year--especially if there is snow on the ground. Which can often happen. Take (or wear) heavy jackets and be prepared for cold. And layer your clothing. If you have mild weather you can be happy.
I have always found that cold weather will reduce the crowds wherever you go and make travel more pleasant.
