Okay; I put it back in the can and then in a ziplock back while still
outside (where the exterior temperature was already below freezing),
so hopefully I'm okay.  I expect to pop it out of the freezer when I
get home tonight and develop it as soon as the kids are asleep, so
that should give it a couple of hours to reach room temperature.

I have only one shot on the roll :-( and I'm not sure about it :-(

I kept waiting for the skies to truly clear; I had hoped to shoot Leo,
but there seemed to be this band of haze and clouds that wouldn't
leave.  Fortunately, the north cleared so I shot Ursa Major.
Unfortunately, even though I didn't mount the camera until after the
frost had settled, but the time I finished the exposure the camera
with TP had a dew spot in the middle.  The other camera with Elite
Chrome was fine.  So I'm really treating this a practice since I
haven't developed my own film in a *long* time.

If I'm lucky, the dew formed late in the shot.  I'm not feeling very
lucky....
