Illustrated infographic titled “Six Basic Steps for Properly Measuring Snow,” from NOAA and the National Weather Service. A snowman holding a ruler appears near the title. The infographic explains why accurate snowfall measurements are important and shows six numbered steps: Supplies: A ruler or yardstick, a 24-by-24-inch white board, and a flag. Planning: Choose an open area away from tall objects but sheltered from the wind. Set-up: Set up before snow begins; place the board on the ground and mark it with a flag. Measuring Snow: Measure once daily at the same time, recording the total to the nearest tenth of an inch; wipe the board clean after measuring and place it back on top of the snow. When Snow Stops: Measure as soon as snowfall ends to avoid lower totals caused by melting, settling, or drifting. Reporting: Send the report to weather.gov or share via social media. Light blue snowy background with small falling snowflakes throughout.

As of 10:00 a.m., St. Louis Lambert Airport saw 7.7 inches of snow.

How much snow have you seen? @nws.noaa.gov St. Louis's office shared these steps for measuring snow. Grab a ruler, find a flat spot away from buildings, and measure to the nearest tenth of an inch. Let us know what you get!

Illustrated infographic titled “Dressing for Cold Weather.” It shows three panels labeled Chilly, Cold, and Extreme Cold, each with a child wearing recommended winter clothing. Chilly: Child wearing 1–2 layers, long pants, a jacket as an outer layer to block wind and rain, and warm waterproof shoes. Cold: Child wearing 2–3 layers, gloves, a warm hat, waterproof boots, and an outer layer to keep out wind and wet snow. Extreme Cold: Child wearing 3 or more insulating layers, gloves, a warm hat, a face mask covering ears and mouth, waterproof boots, and an outer layer to block wind. Text notes that adding layers helps keep you warm as temperatures drop. Source shown as weather.gov/safety with a NOAA logo.

Bitter cold remains in the City of St. Louis. If you must go outside, dress in layers to prevent frostbite or hypothermia. Cover as much skin as possible to protect your ears, face, hands and feet. Wear waterproof and insulated boots. A hat will keep your body warmer.

Ice and Snow, Take It Slow. Did you know? Each year in the United States, there are over 1,000 deaths and 100,000 injuries due to vehicle crashes during winter weather. Clean off your vehicle before driving. Flying snow from cars causes accidents. Keep it slow, and don’t use cruise control. Roads can be slick even if they just look wet. Leave extra distance between vehicles. Stay especially far from snow plows.

Winter driving can be hazardous. Slow down to keep yourself and everyone on the road safe. Remember, “Ice and snow, take it slow”. Learn more at weather.gov/safety/winter
