Nothing of significance to report.
With the continued deterioration of the web above, the main web is accumulating a considerable amount of debris. I suspect it is only a matter of time before it, too, begins deteriorating.
My infantile research suggests that I have been observing wolf spiders or garden spiders but neither fully fit the physical appearance. My search for answers continues.

Day 54
Nothing of significance to report.
Temperatures are mild but there is no change in the corner.
In the absence of activity, I will begin researching spiders so as to be more prepared for their return. I hope to eventually discover the species of spider I have been observing in the process.

There is no sign of activity in the corner. Deterioration has not yet set in to the main web.
I wonder if I will see any of the spiders again before spring. I can only hope so considering how long it took for them to leave.

Day 52
Nothing of significance to report.
The weather is beginning to warm up but again I was unable to record the specifics. There is no activity in the web but it remains intact. However, the web above is beginning to deteriorate. I suspect it is only a matter of time before it is unable to shield the main web from debris.

Day 51
Nothing of significance to report.
Conditions are bitter cold but I was unable to record the specifics. There has been no change in the web and there remains no sign of life in the corner.

Day 50
Nothing of significance to report.
The temperature is only dropping further. It no longer surprises me to see the corner empty of life.
The web above appears to be catching most of the debris from the second floor, thus protecting the main web. I think that is the only reason it has remained in such good condition for so long without anything maintaining it.
Conditions
49.1° F and overcast
Windchill 49° F
Humidity 61%
Wind0.0 mph NE
Wind gust 0.0 mph
Dew point 36° F
Precipitation 0% chance
Pressure 29.95 in (rising)

Day 49
Nothing of significance to report.
The web remains empty. There are no signs of spiders. I am anxiously awaiting warmer temperatures to see if the spiders return.
I know insects are at a minimal population (at least visibly) during winter. Does that low food supply drive spiders into hibernation? Though it makes sense, I have never heard of what insects or spiders do during winter.
Conditions
56.0° F and hazy
Humidity 80%
Wind calm
