Up and coming Comets

My kids were asking me about Hail Bopp the other week and I was looking on google for a Comet Watcher or comet list for up and coming comets, but all I keep finding are older comets like Linear, Temple 1 and Hail Bopp. Does anyone know of a good site that has newer comets that havnt arived? I know these events are rare and sometimes we can go decades before another one is fully visable but If any are known to be on their way and pass closely to earth, i would love for my children (as well as my wife and I) to view it.

Im guessing Winter is the best time to view these but it would be nice if it could happen during a slightly warmer evening. Somewhere I have a video I shot of both Hail-Bopp and the luner eclips that occured the same evening. It was an awesome event when the moon was eclipsed and Hail Bopp became even more visable.

id like to find one of these too, But the town i live in has too many lights, you'd have to do something to the powerstation down the road to take them all out to be able to even see a comet pass by me
