Artificial Snow Birthday (1949)
- Like so many other scientific innovations, artificial snow was born out of wartime necessity. In this case, it began during World War II and experiments with the creation of artificial fog meant to conceal ships at sea. Despite protests that artificial snow shouldn't be used because it messed with Mother Nature's design, it only took a few years for ski resorts to begin looking for ways to create the fake stuff for use during bad snow years.
National Young Readers Day

Schools, libraries, families, and communities nationwide use this day to celebrate youths reading in a variety of creative and educational ways.

Holland Tunnel Birthday (1927)
- On this date in 1927, the world's first long, mechanically-ventilated underwater tunnel, the Holland Tunnel, opened between New York and New Jersey beneath the Hudson River. The tunnel is named for Clifford Milburn Holland, its chief engineer, who died before the project was completed.
Fall of Kabul (2001)
- Northern Alliance troops opposing the Islamic extremist regime of the Taliban moved into the capital of Afghanistan on this date in 2001 — the first major victory in the war on terrorism prompted by Sept 11, 2001, attacks on America.
