The White Stuff

Even the Eiffel Tower has succumbed to the blanket of snow that is causing chaos across much of Europe. The operators of the famous Paris landmark have closed the monument following heavy snowfall in the French capital saying they couldn't use salt to treat collecting ice and snow because it would pose a threat to the iron that forms so much of the structure. Highly Questionable celebrates snow by making it the theme of today's quiz.
