Dealing with rainy days as a child living on a dairy farm in rural Minnesota meant muddy cattle, little extra work cleaning the barn, flooded/washed out roads. But it also meant watching movies, sometimes playing a board game,
Raining days while Living off-grid in the desert in New Mexico isn’t a whole lot difference than my experiences while in Minnesota. (Though we don’t have cattle). We have flooded/washed out roads, play board/cards games. But no movies.
The difference is overcast days don’t charge the batteries for the solar much if at all. We can usually handle one over cast day fine, but not 2 or 3 days.
To preserve electric (in case its longer than a day) all non essentials get turned off. Fans, tvs, charging of cell phones are limited. Which means no movies.
We can start up generators, but why waste the gas? So rainy days usually means doing things that doesn’t require electric. Reading, writing, drawing, playing board or card games. Going into town in the truck due to the roads.
