Surviving Araneus diadematus??

Early in the morning today I saw a medium sized Araneus diadematus proudly sitting in the middle of her newly made web in a front garden (South facing) in Hull. I've seen overwintering garden spiders before, but not after such a cold winter. Are there more people seeing overwintering garden spiders?. As is often the case I didn't have my camera with me, but I'll try to take a picture later.
