No it will be daytime here and on the wrong side of the planet. It passes closest to earth in 1hr 29 minutes from this post
From NASA
Asteroid 2012 DA14 will be closest to Earth on Feb. 15 at approximately 19:24 UTC (2:24 p.m. EST/11:24 a.m. PST). This time may change by a minute or two as the asteroid is tracked on its approach and predictions are refined.
At the time of closest approach, the asteroid will be over the eastern Indian Ocean, off Sumatra -- approx. latitude: -6 deg South. / longitude: 97.5 deg East.

Eastern Europe and Indonesia are favorite viewing sites by Telescope or Binoculars but it would still be difficult to track. Online viewing should be amazing.
