Did you know...
... that today is the birthday of Artificial Snow? In 1946, Vincent Schaefer spread the first artificial snow on Mount Greylock, Massachusetts. This first attempt to modify natural
clouds in the field through "cloud seeding" began during a
flight that began in upstate New York. Schaefer dumped six
pounds of dry ice into the target cloud from a plane after a
60-mile easterly chase from the Schenectady County Airport.
