Dozens of dead little spiders in the snow

The winter suddenly set in here and it was pretty warm before. We walked through the snow in a central European forest and I realized a lot of "black dots" (dozens of them) as a contrast to the white. It turned out that these were little spiders - dead little spiders.

I saw one rappel down from a branch (quite slow; like exhausted). It died as soon as it reached the floor (so, the snow).

What happened there? Were they just hatched little spiders frozen to death cause of the sudden cold?
