That means we're setting up for a soggy Friday and Saturday in particular, and it's a smart idea to stay indoors when that's the case.
Many events around the area have been cancelled, so how do we spend a whole weekend indoors?
Here's Sarah's top 10 rainy day activities (and here's a bunch more!) you should do while you're stuck in home thanks to Ian.
Read a book
There's never not a time where Sarah isn't going to recommend reading Harry Potter to you. But you can pick up any book.
Watch Movies
Speaking of Harry Potter... good time to start a movie marathon!
Play Board Games
If the whole family is stuck inside, it's a good time to break out a board game.
Cook
Maybe it's time to find a new recipe and see what fun food you can come up with?
Journal
Maybe writing is more your thing? Good time to start a new journal.
Complete a puzzle
For the patient ones out there, a puzzle is always nice. Highly recommend Blue Kazoo!
Clean
If you're really, really bored, maybe a good house cleaning is in order.
Have a dance party
If you want to stay a little bit fit, dance parties are always fun. Film some TikToks and maybe you can make a career out of it.
Do an at home spa day
Scrapbook or do a creative project
You've been putting this off for years. Time to get to it.
