Authorities are requesting residents of Dunklin and Pemiscot counties in Missouri to provide snow and sleet measurements currently on the ground. The call for ground truth aims to help officials better understand the extent of winter precipitation in the Missouri Bootheel region.
The request comes as the area experiences ongoing winter weather, with officials seeking local data to inform road conditions and public safety measures. No specific deadline or reporting method was provided.
Residents are encouraged to share their measurements with local authorities or through designated community channels to aid in the assessment of current conditions.
