Comment (by cypherpunks):

 I was thinking about a "can it reach torproject.org? can it reach the
 directory servers?" as a metric indicative of whether it's in a censored
 region (which would even catch the cases when a snowflake is in a non-
 censored country but a censored network), but even that approach has its
 fair share of problems.
