Not just a conversation piece. They
really work.
Every weather watcher should
have one. Weather sticks
tell what the weather is doing. With
good weather about they point to the
sky and when things aren't so
pleasant they point to the ground.
We don't know why, but the Old
Timers had faith in them and that's
good enough for us. They should be
mounted outdoors under an eave, on a window
frame or on a porch, garage or barn
wall; anywhere they can be seen
from inside. When first put up they
will take a short while to get used
to your house. Be patient with them
and they will serve you well for a
long time. Some sticks have lasted
for 15 years.
Where we found them.
We met Bob Hart,
proprietor of the Davis Hill
Company, at the Stowe Vermont Art
and Craft Festival. Bob is
conservative and only claims
that his weather sticks tell what
the weather "is" in his printed
marketing material. However, Bob
quietly told us that the sticks
usually start bending even before weather
changes happen.
Where they come
from. Weather sticks are balsam
fir saplings that have been stripped
of their bark and dried. Balsam fir
trees tend to grow in sugar maple
groves; shading the plastic tubing
that is used to collect the maple
syrup. (The old-fashioned metal
buckets are no longer used). The
more shade the slower the syrup
flows. So maple sugar farmers need
to thin out the balsams on a regular
basis. This provides a bountiful
"harvest" for the weather
stick makers up on Davis
Hill.
Cheaper
by the dozen! Weather
sticks make great gifts, wedding
favors, party favors and
corporate giveaways.
