    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    https://www.foxnews.com/world/freak-hailstorm-in-mexico-buries-cars-swamps-streets-in-feet-of-ice

    One of Mexico's largest cities was transformed into a scene straight out of winter Sunday when a freak hailstorm dropped a deluge of ice that left streets impassable and cars buried.

    The hailstorm in Guadalajara, located north of Mexico City, came after several days during which temperatures approached 90 degrees.

    "I've never seen such scenes in Guadalajara," State Governor Enrique Alfaro said on Twitter.

    Residents across the city of around five million woke up Sunday morning to discover mounds of ice up to five feet deep in places from the overnight storm, Agence France-Presse reported.

    Videos of the city posted to Instagram showed truckers struggling to get through the icy mix.

    The Mexican army was out on Sunday afternoon helping city workers clear the streets, according to Alfaro, who added there were no reports of injuries or deaths.

    Guadalajara is sometimes hit by severe weather because it is 5,100 feet above sea level, according to Sky News. Alfaro, however, said he had never witnessed such intense hail in the city.

    Hail forms when a water droplet is picked up by updrafts of warm air in a thunderstorm travels well above the freezing level and then freezes, according to the National Weather Service.

    "As the frozen droplet begins to fall...carried by cold downdrafts...it may thaw as it moves into warmer air toward the bottom of the thunderstorm," the NWS states. "Our little half-frozen droplet may also get picked up again by another updraft...carrying it back into very cold air and re-freezing it."

    The journey in the updrafts and downdrafts of a thunderstorm will add another layer of ice to the frozen droplet until it finally falls to the ground as hail.

    "The presence of large hail indicates very strong updrafts and downdrafts within the thunderstorm," the NWS states.

    I had to explain to one of my new sysadmins what a WINS server was. He looked at me strangely.

    You want to talk about a LAN killer - we used to have a mixed Novell/NT network. The IPX/TCP collisions were horrible. The performance increase when we shut down the last Novell server was like "the first time." It was bliss. We were able to use all that smokin' fast 100MBPS on the network segments.

    Now I cringe whenever I'm throttled down to 100MBPS.

    Wasn't that long ago, a little over 10 years, that the very last of the Tokin Ring (SNA), (we had), finally went away. There was SNA over Token-Ring and SNA over IP.....

    How long does it need to sit before being declared abandoned?

    It looks like it was a previously nice Scrambler.

    Now it just needs an engine, transmission, axles, and all the electronics replaced.

    So it's really not too different from other Jeeps of that era.
