Hi, I think this is Araneus marmorous, a marbled orbweaver spider. She looks like she recently deposited her eggs. She could have had another batch before winter. They are found in much of North America
I agree this looks like a Marbled Orb-weaver (A. marmoreous, I think this one looks a bit different though because it is male. (Looking at the spines on leg II.)
Thanks for the advice on telling males from females! Guess it won’t be doing any egg depositing after all. 😉
