I like Ancient Aliens, and 10 Things You Don't Know About with Henry Rollins. I also like their space stuff every now and then and sometimes the "doomsday" predictions are pretty fun. It's definitely not an educational channel tho, haha.
All of those things make me think of that history channel "movie" Blackout or whatever it was when they speculated on what would happen if the grid failed.
I seem to recall a really warm October a few years ago but then there was another time that it started snowing right at the beginning of November. Michigan has always had crappy weather.
