Other solution, of course, is to practice crosswind landings with an instructor. Most aircraft can be safely landed in well over 20 kts crosswind if technique is good, and one would hope that you wouldn't fly expecting anything near that unless you were either very experienced or training to be an instructor (my FI(R) instructor got us to land in some very hairy conditions. Shows you can get a student safely back even if the weather deteriorates significantly). You therefore have a nice margin for worsening weather.
