This is definitely a St Andrews Cross spider... very common on the east coast.

I notice it has two raidals coming from the web centre - sometimes they have 4.

Looks like it is from the Orb-weaver spider family. I have a picture of a similar spider. Go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orb-weaver_...
