It's not much warmer in eastern NC right now. 15 this morning when I left to come to work with a breeze that put the chill factor at 0.
More snow is predicted for Tuesday and Wednesday, so the boys will probably be put on snow removal patrol here at the plant...

Thanks Dave!
We have a unique job for the boys right here in beautiful (and currently damn cold) Elk Grove Village, Illinois!
Elk Grove Village has an actual ELK HERD that live in a large open grove in our forest preserve so the Chicago Zoological Society veterinary staff will appreciate the help with caring for the elk. They join the rest of us in thinking that this "polar vortex" is too much even for them!

Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz Answer
Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Answer:
The Question:
This element is presumed to be a colorless gas in its natural state. It is
produced by bombarding atoms of curium-248 with calcium-48 ions. It was given a "real" name in 2012. What element is being described?
The Answer:
The element is Livermorium (Lv)! Element 116 was named Livermorium in honor of the Livermore National Laboratory by the IUPAC in 2012. Lv was discovered in December of 2000 and per IUPAC rules initially given the generic name ununhexium. Lv is believe to have similar properties to polonium and tellurium due to its location in the Periodic table. It is also believed to be a colorless gas in its natural state.
The winners of the weekly element quiz are Leland Woodall, CSTech Inc. and Ron Feyereisen, Sigmatron Int. They will split the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week. I did not specify I wanted the official element name so Ron's response was deemed correct by the FEQAB. Ron - let me know where your facility is at and the boys will go there after spending a couple of days at Leland's facility.
And next week I'll find a horribly ugly US East coast time to send out the Quiz question! :-)
So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:
