Snow farming might only be a Boston term. It refers to the [re]moving of fallen snow in preparation for an upcoming snow storm.

See how Chris Hartmann used Mathcad Prime to calculate the magnitude of the shoveling challenge posed by a 14-inch snow storm.

How are you using Mathcad to solve your home engineering problems?

It seems Chris has too much time on his hands - has he been SNOWED in recently?

Very simple example attached. I was planning on looking at the friction losses and other parameters which effect the flow rate but ran out of time.

Interesting pond you have there Mike. Not quite as interesting as your hose though!

The text in the *.pdf is class, nearly fell off my chair laughing .

Ok very poor example - I was doing my university work at the time, maybe shouldn't have bothered. The pond was already in the garden when I moved in and it keeps several large Koi Carp. The depth is closer to a meter thinking about it and the hose is more like 20mm .

You could have looked at friction losses due to imperfections and length of pipe........ Come on!!!!!!!

Oh, by the way......We only get about 2 days of sunshine a year here, so I wouldn't be filling the pond on that rare occurrence, bur I would have a beer in my hand.
