I feel you about the cold! Definitely makes it much harder.
Did you try to find it naked eye or did you use a telescope/binoculars? I hear that the comet is pretty easy to spot with binoculars if you haven't tried that.
The clouds finally gave me a break to shoot this. This is my first real comet capture (I shot NEOWISE a few years ago but it was just a stock DSLR/lens shot).
Astro-Tech AT60ED with the 0.8x Reducer/Flattener on Advanced VX Mount
Mount controlled via Astroberry
ZWO ASI533MC Pro
Svbony 60mm guide scope with ZWO ASI120MM-Mini guide cam
25x240sec with L-Pro
15 darks
30 flats for each session
35 bias
I stacked the Comet in AstroPixelProcessor and stacked the stars in Siril to try and just get the stars stacked. I then made a composite in Photoshop.
Due to my exposure settings, I couldn't get rid of the comet in a star stack in APP and I couldn't get rid of the stars in Siril so I ended up combining them.

Can't see it Naked Eye :( I'm right outside of Boston and even at its brightest, it'll be really hard to see it without at least binoculars.
And the weather has also been really bad. Terrible clouds and very bad transparency.
