Were you using a telescope? Unless you were using a telescope, I don't think you saw it.
This according to the email that I get from Sky and Telescope magazine.

Supernova Erupts in M101
August 25, 2011 | SN 2011fe, the brightest supernova visible from northern latitudes in decades, appears to have reached its peak at about magnitude 10.0. It's in the nearby galaxy M101, which is low in the northwest right after dark

I don't think that part of the sky is visible in the morning right now. Not only that, but the supernova is measured as a magnitude 10 which is probably not bright enough for most folks to see without a telescope
