It does cool house down when it’s cool outside but man .. it pulls in crazy amounts of pollen. You’ll have white counters yellowed in 2 minutes this time of year. It gets all over everything They're better in Sept/Oct when you still have some warm days to cool the house down quickly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s cool and in the 50’s they are pretty good as you get into summer. But if it’s humid at all and run it, everything in the house gets wet and you wake up feeling like you’ve been swimming. And the pollen season they’re not usable. So a short timeframe in general 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NW_of_GYX Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Not New England but temp bottomed out at 39 on the car thermo on my drive from Minneapolis to Duluth this afternoon. We’ve had some bad Memorial Day weekends in NE but this is another thing altogether. 35 degree temp drop in 2 hours from MSP. Glad we don’t live here . 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one will convince me otherwise but their population has to be increasing, rapidly in areas. Even a half dozen more cubs spread out in an area will increase the sightings and it can only take an extra litter of so for a local to double bear encounters. They have zero predators. They also aren’t predators. So they just exist and thrive. Humans aren’t concerned because they are docile animals who just amble about looking for easy food sources; they aren’t hunters. Live and let live type animals. I went almost 10 years without having a bear encounter in Vermont. Now I have at least a half a dozen encounters with them per warm season between the mountain and town. Something has changed in the past 5-6 years despite my same life patterns. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inlaws in willington had a bear snag their suet block right in front of their window while they were eating breakfast last weekend. I saw bear scat on the woods there last summer, I think they ate all the chanterelles that used to be abundant there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestHillWx Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Come to NJ, our bruin population is significant and we have considerably less wilderness for them to hang out in. I agree with @powderfreakthey largely will move along, however right now is peak risk due to momma bears with cubs. Two small dogs were KIA in Sparta the other day; the owner sustained mild injury. It’s all about educating the people who live in “bear-country”. My personal pet peeve: trash bags put out the night before pick up, instead of early on the day of. Why not just ring the dinner bell?
