A harsh winter ahead?

After seeing the squirrels scurrying around like mad this afternoon, I'm suddenly suspecting it's going to be an early - and harsh - winter.

They were on a mission, and my intrusion didn't even disrupt their work. I was on one of my afternoon walks, and usually they high-tail it up a tree. But not today. They looked at me as if to say, "Get out of my way! I'm busy!"

I usually don't see this behavior from the squirrels for another few weeks. I hope I'm wrong, and the squirrels are just getting a jump on storing food up for winter (no pun intended).
