For those interested, this comet comes around once every 50,000 years and it will be in the sky tonight and tomorrow night. If you miss it, most likely you won't get a second chance later in your lifetime :doh:
According to the blog, "In the Sky" the comet will be highest in the sky at around 9:45 p.m. on Feb. 2, above the northern horizon. It first becomes visible just after dusk, then disappears at dawn". It will depend a lot on how clear the sky is in order to see it, but it's supposed to be visible with the naked eye (on a cloudless night) this evening until Friday morning

I've tried a couple of times to see it, but to no avail unfortunately.

Same here
We went out last nite to try and see something. You have to understand where we live, if we see 3 stars at night it is a good night, but we tried, and like everyone else saw nothing.
Alas, we'll just have to wait for the next time, some 50,000 years from now.

Yup, I tried again last night and it was so cloudy there wasn't a star in the sky :(
