Help from you weather prophets

My wife noticed Sunday afternoon the squirrels in our yard have been busy the past few days burying nuts, especially in flower beds.

Does this mean anything to any of you weather phophets out there?

I used to ask such questions in late summer of the oldtimers until one day it occurred to me, heck, I'm an oldtimer now, and this oldtimer can only come up with thrifty squirrels as a possible answer.

My wife has another name for them I won't mention here.
