The spider was moving when we first came up to it--but soon stopped. How did it get there? It appeared before we were close enough to have dropped it out of our clothes (yes, there might always be a spider hitchhiking on someone coming out of this house). I think it was too cold for it to have walked from a hibernation spot. Perhaps dropped there by a bird who had dug it out of a crevice somewhere?

Spiders do something called ballooning. They climb up to a high spot & spin out some loose silk, which the wind catches & carries away along with the spider at the other hand. But the one in your photograph may have been too big for wind transport.
Here is a suggestion about your snow photographs. When taking pictures with lots of snow in the background, cameras tend to underexpose, because the snow reflects so much light. As a result, objects in the foreground end up too dark. So to compensate for that try to overexpose a little bit (1 or 2 steps). (You may have to set the camera to manual exposure to do that.)
We got our temperatures back. Send some snow.
