 February 2, 1951

Radioactive Snow
The fourth Atomic Test took place in Yucca Flats Nevada, with reports of sizable earth tremors being felt in Las Vegas and the explosion being clearly visible In Los Angeles, some 300 miles away.

Coinciding with news of the Nevada Tests it was also revealed that radioactive particles were turning up in snowfall around Canada and other parts of the Eastern U.S. - although the Atomic Energy Commission was quick to reduce fears by claiming the amounts were only trace and posed no harm to living things. 

And all of this talk of The Bomb, the War and The Soviet Union had Americans clamoring for institutions of religion. A dramatic uptick in Church attendance led many to believe this was all the result of the overwhelming fear that had gripped the world in 1951.
