Don't know about your town, but here where I am, there were not so many acorns from the trees last year. I was told that the lack of rain caused the trees to protect themselves and not make as many nuts. So couple that with the bad winter where they couldn't get to their storage areas....maybe did them in.
I also noticed the 2 fox that live in my woods were very skinny this spring. I don't think they could get to any of the little rodent/critters through the thick snow cover. By the time they smelled them under the snow the little guys were off in there little habitrails. We had a red tail squirrle that had packed whatever acorns he could find down a little hole in my yard. The hole got covered under 3 feet of snow. Never saw him/her again. I raked my yard in Nashua. Tons of acorns. I bagged them up and brought them up here. didn't help I guess.
