A ruler shows nearly a foot of snow at a home in central Kettering as of Sunday afternoon.

The National Weather Service wants to know how much snow is near your home.

To send in snow information,

  • Grab your ruler
  • Find somewhere that's flat, unobstructed and not affected by drifting
  • Measure and record to the closest 10th of an inch

You can send it in by tagging your local office of the National Weather Service on Facebook, Twitter, or submitting under "Submit your storm report" on weather.gov.

For the Dayton region, tag the National Weather Service in Wilmington, Ohio.
