Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. SNOW + a feline = a vehicle designed to move snow from recreational areas

Answer: snowcat

SNOW + cat = snowcat

Snowcats, also called "trail groomers," are the size of a large truck, have an enclosed cab, and run on tracks. They are used to perfect or "groom" the snow on ski trails.

2. SNOW + a ringing subject of a poem by Edgar Allan Poe = a name of flowers

Answer: snowbells

SNOW + bells = snowbells

The name "snowbells" is very descriptive of these flowers. They are white in color and hang from the plant like little bells. They also have little green dots of color on them.

3. SNOW + an animal that flies = a person who heads to a milder climate in the winter

Answer: snowbird

SNOW + bird = snowbird

Here in the US, many snowbirds spend November through March in Florida or other gulf coast states.

4. SNOW + a spherical or ovoid object used in sports = a kind of effect that starts out small and becomes bigger and bigger

Answer: snowball

SNOW + ball = snowball

The snowball effect, which can relate to any situation, shows the idea of a small ball of snow that picks up more and more snow as it rolls down a snowy hill. "Butterfly effect" and "domino effect" are related terms.

5. SNOW + an undependable person = a single or an accumulation of ice crystals

Answer: snowflake

SNOW + flake = snowflake

It is said that no two snowflakes are exactly alike, something that would be difficult to prove or disprove. Scientists do know that the multitude of patterns are caused by the differences in temperature and humidity the snowflake goes through on its way to Earth.

6. SNOW + a verb meaning to push or charge your way through something = a piece of equipment attached to trucks for the purpose of clearing highways in wintery weather

Answer: snowplow

SNOW + plow = snowplow

In some US states, including my state of Missouri, and also in some Canadian provinces, you will see road crews using the articulated plow system that enables the clearing of several divided highway lanes at one time.

7. SNOW + a verb meaning to be carried along by currents of air or water = a large accumulation of the fluffy white stuff along the side of a highway or building

Answer: snowdrift

SNOW + drift = snowdrift

In areas where snowdrifts can create driving problems, snow fences are erected on the windward side of highways to catch the snow and keep it from accumulating and shutting down the roads.

8. SNOW + name for something worn on your feet = equipment that helps a person get through deep snow

Answer: snowshoes

SNOW + shoes = snowshoes

Snowshoes are designed to distribute the body weight of the wearer over a larger area. Known as "flotation", this keeps a person from sinking into the snow with each step.

9. SNOW + a thin sheet of glass used under a microscope = the movement of a mass of snow from a higher elevation to a lower one

Answer: snowslide

SNOW + slide = snowslide

Snowslides are also referred to as "snowslips" or "avalanches." Areas where these tend to occur use different techniques such as snow fences, grooming machines, and explosives to create smaller slides to lessen the chances of death and destruction these snowslides can cause.

10. SNOW + a verb meaning to leap forward or upward, or to spring = being trapped due to large amounts of the fluffy white stuff

Answer: snowbound

SNOW + bound = snowbound

"Snowbound: The Jim and Jennifer Stolpa Story," is a 1994 television movie about a real-life US couple, who along with their five month-old baby, survived after being trapped in snow for eight days in a remote area of northern Nevada.
