The comet has by now crossed the Earth's orbit and is inward towards the Sun, so will be visible in the east just before sunrise.... But I'm yet to see it.... I'm just gonna have to try harder, obviously!
By the way, the real fun will be in January when the Earth crosses the path of the comet, and flies through the debris trail. Crossing a comet's orbital path is the common source of all meteor showers, so there should be some fireworks about then...
Totally clouded over here too hoping for clear skies in jan !
