Any special challenges to fixing/changing a flat tire at night? In the cold?

I have been riding/commuting more in the dark and it hasn't happened yet.
I hope that this doesn't stir the FTG's.

You've got lights, right? So just get on with it.

If you're that worried, ride Sprinter Gatorskin tubulars. No worries of not finding the sharp if you do flat, and very unlikely to flat anyway. Takes a matter of moments to rip it off and slap on the spare. Plus if you are on tough rims, you could just ride home on the flat.

all buy one of the flats i've had this year have been in the dark on morning commute rides. changing a tube is all about feel for the most part, i can pretty much do it with my eyes closed anyway. its handy that my headlight detaches and can be used for a flashlight.

the biggest tip is to be familiar with your equipment and methodology, that will help the most. oh yea - maybe carry an extra spare tube, forget about patching anything in the dark and cold/wet.

Cold is a bigger deal than darkness because it's hard to change flats if you can't feel your fingers. Be sure to get good tire levers because they are more susceptible to breaking when temps are low. For darkness, just remember that you need light to work. Other than that, there is no different.

BTW, you have totally screwed yourself by mentioning that you haven't had any flats in the dark yet. Provoking the Flat Tire Gods is never wise.
