Q: How long does the Woodsman Maine Weather stick take to start working?
A: The Weather stick will slowly adjust to your weather and you will probably notice some movement within 5 hours of mounting your new weather stick. Give it 24 hrs and it should be pretty well adjusted.
Q: Which way way does the weather stick point for good weather?
A: The Woodman's weather stick will bend up with the fair weather. Think of it as a "smile" with good weather and a "frown" with bad weather. If your weather stick is bending the opposite way it may be mounted upside down. Remember the predrilled mounting hole goes to the top.
Q: How Does The Weather Stick work? Does the Weather Stick really predict the weather?
A: That's actually a pretty loaded question. There have been many studies done on how it works and the best we can tell it comes down to the way the Balsam Fir reacts to relative humidity. Getting a little more technical for a minute the cells on the bottom side of the branch form slightly different than the cells on the top side of the branch due to the trees natural growing patterns. The cells on the bottom of the branch tend to be more in a compression state from supporting the weight of the branches. When the relative Humidity rises (which typically happens right before a rain storm) the compression cells tend to react differently than the normal cells and that is what causes the Weather Stick to bend.
Q: How long will the Weatherstick Last?
A: We have customers that have reported to us that they have had their weather stick for as long as 20 years. We know this is probably a best case scenario and the answer to this question really depends on how much exposure to the elements your weather stick is subject to depending on where you decide to mount it.
