Some do not. They lay eggs. The eggs hatch in the spring.
Spiders are small. They live in micro environments. It is not the winter snow they live in but under the leaves beneath the snow. The cold wind does not blow beneath the roots of the tree.
Some spiders hibernate. They just quit moving. They use no energy so they do not have to eat. When it warms they move.
Then again. Not all spiders have to survive the winter. They lay so many eggs that one spider in a thousand surviving will keep the species alive.
Some spiders migrate by casting their fibers into the wind drifting for miles in a day. So they can move north quickly in the spring.

The spider is likely to be Zygiella x-notata. I often find one on my car in a similar position. Many do survive the winter if they are in a frost-free position but I suspect that the majority don't make it; if they have mated (and yours is probably a female) they construct a silk cocoon for their eggs and then die.

Many spiders actually do not survive the winter, because they live for less than a year. But those that do generally do so by taking shelter in a protected place, often selecting human dwellings when available.

they dont actually, they just have kids, in winter spiders die, is why u see them during the autumn in your houses alot, they are looking for other spiders for reproducing...
they come out more than, just because they need to have a shag and lay eggs
spider eggs are kept in a warm place, so that when spring starts again the lil spiders can start their own life and scare the heck out of us all

I've heard that spiders extremities lock in place during cold spells and are thawed out with warmth. Then they become active again?

If you learned a little about them you would find them fascinating as a species. I believe they have been around longer than we have and will probably be around long after we are gone. In addition, they eat many of the other bugs we don't like!

they freeze, when it's cold, and thaw out when it's warm.
