The time of year when Mother Nature confuses us with beautiful 55 degree days and then ambushes us with hail and freezing wind when we least expect it (the week before finals). The smell of dead leaves is in the air and the taste of turkey is in the Dana burgers. And with this wonderful time comes the last few weekends before we must break out the snowshoes and snowpants and snowshirts. So let us take great advantage of our unburdened shoes, pants, and shirts. Here&#8217;s what&#8217;s up:<\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"lead\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What&#8217;s going on in the past dimension:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hannah &#8216;Cranberry Sauce&#8217; Peters went to French Mountain and Mount Philips\u00a0with her aunt.
