LOL. It was about 35 degrees, but a pretty good breeze blowing made it feel a lot colder. Fortunately, I strategized: I went up on Yanney Tower (seen here from the north: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pixelsmithy/8002062029/in/set-72157631571806897/lightbox/ ) and was protected from the north wind by the building/elevator.
The comet follows the sun down in the west. Properly exposed photos should start picking it up 30-40 minutes after sundown.
