FOR USE ON OUTSIDE WALLS. Weather sticks can be mounted under eaves, on window frames or on porch, garage or barn walls; anywhere they can be seen from inside. They 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. 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. EVERY WEATHER WATCHER SHOULD HAVE ONE.

WHERE THEY COME FROM. Weather sticks are balsam fir saplings that have been stripped of their bark and dried. Their first known use was by the Abenaki Indians in the 1700's. Today, balsam fir trees are a "problem" for maple sugar farmers. They shade 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" of weather sticks.
