Way to go! Even though there temperature is so cold, I've noticed that the relative humidity has been very high so that could account for most of the "fuzz" around the image. Besides the atmospheric reflection, the high relative humidity could also cause some problems with condensation on the lens/mirror – once it's on the equipment it takes a really long time to evaporate – which was probably long after your "frozen fingers!"
