They probably won't hibernate now. It is tricky to put animals like that into a hibernation state. It might be safer to just feed them until spring. Winter was really early this year anyhow so they have had some sleep time.
They don't know why they woke up, but it must be that something disturbed their hibernation site. We had massive amounts of tree damage because of the ice storm and then huge amounts of human activity to clean up the damage and restore power. We are having "ice quakes" I am not even sure what they are. Any or all of this could have disturbed them.
The good news is that most of them will make it through the winter.
