- starting last night, snow starting to fall, accumulating
- 6 - 8 inches possible for Christmas
- I remember most of my Christmases in Williston having well less than five inches of snow

Honda
The other day, I mentioned how happy I was with my Honda Civic, now several years old. Today, this from auto123.com, Honda Civic Type R is Auto123.com's 2018 Sport Compact Car of the Year. And, on top of that, there is the Civic Si. Something for everyone at all price points.

How Big Is Amazon?
CNBC reported that the #2 US logistics distributor has 21 fulfillment centers, second only to Amazon. As usual, the reporter did not put that "21" into perspective. Does Amazon have 22 fulfillment centers? 35? 105?
So, I was curious. Look at these two data points. Remember that the #2 logistics distributor in the US [Radial] has 21 fulfillment centers. Now Amazon:
- Amazon added 26 new fulfillment centers in the US in 2017
- a year ago, January, 2017, Amazon announced new fulfillment centers in Colorado, Maryland, Florida, and Texas
- so how many fulfillment centers does Amazon have in the US? Are you sitting down? As of January, 2017, 214 facilities across the US
