Beam on Elastic Foundation Theory

Hello ba/ael:,

I thank you indeed. Not on topic, but what is the whether like there in 'the winter?

At the moment I live in the south of the UK and it is not too cold, but we have lately had days where the ice lasts all day for several days. No problems with snow though.

Take care.........................

Until the last few days, we have experienced much milder weather than normal. Unfortunately, that has come to an end. It is -25^oC now and sunny. The low for today is going to be -30^oC. The low last night was -39^oC. Brr!

So far this year, we have not seen much snow. I don't believe I have shoveled more than six inches from the driveway in total so far. A few days ago, we had freezing rain which triggered many accidents on the roads. It's like driving on an ice rink before the sanding crews get to work and spread salt laden sand at all the stop signs.

The snow tends to drift a bit in my back yard but it also tends to settle with time. On average, the yard has an average of about three inches of snow at the moment. I see fresh rabbit tracks in the snow in my back yard. They (the rabbits) are pure white at this time of year. In summer they are brown.

Hello ba/ael:

I can't really imagine how cold that is! The coldest we have had it is in 1969 (I think). We went to see a distant relative and everything in that part of the country stopped. No milk, bread, nothing. Cars were ordered off the roads because they were getting punctures cause by ice slivers.

It was just one white desert, as the small fields filled and the wind blew the snow into amazing shapes! The house we went to is an 'L' shaped Semi. And the two form a courtyard at the back and it completely filled in. Actual snow fall was about 4', but it was worse there because of drifting. But it was comparatively warm when I hear you have -25°. I assume that is Fahrenheit?

Take care and happy holiday........................

Hi bb,

The temperatures I gave were in Celsius (Centigrade), not Fahrenheit. When you get to forty below zero, it doesn't matter because the two scales converge at that point (-40^oC. = -40^oF.).

-25^oC is equivalent to -13^oF. It's not too bad if you dress for it, but if you happen to be walking into a stiff wind for any length of time, it can be a bit chilly.

If you want to make some quick conversions between these scales, try this site.

Hello ba/ael:

If you use Celsius as we do that would make your weather still very much colder than ours.

The 19 below we had was in general and where we stayed was a 'frost hollow' which was about 8 deg colder. As is usual in England, we are never ready for something like that. I suppose if you have 'proper' winters and know it is going to be -25 or so you can arrange your life around it? but when it is just once in a while it comes as a shock!

There was a time when I had nothing better to do, and though I could only just write, very shaky I was. I had a pad and pencil and worked out the temperatures in Fahrenheit, Celsius and Kelvin. So that is also the time I to realised -40F =

-40C. I work between the two automatically, though I have forgotten the Kelvin measurements.

Take care......................
