I'm hoping you can set my anxieties to rest, or tell me what i need to do if there is a problem. I stopped in Boston MA (on my way to celebrate my mother's 86th!), and braved the cold to snap a few photos. It was crazily windy and bitterly cold and extremely bright. My shots were extremely over exposed, even after I cranked the exposure compensation way down. My amateur guess was that it was just too cold for the camera and the shutter was slow.
Information and advice would be gratefully appreciated.

If it was below the specified operating temp (-10C / 14F), then it's possible that the shutter and/or lens diaphragm wasn't operating properly, especially if you weren't using a WR lens.
