Moon and Venus low (Toronto)

After dinner, after a pit stop to the Little Bee variety store, I headed south-west to Cam's. Southbound, between buildings I would steal glances, hoping for a break in the clouds. When I turned west, I had a good sight line. As I reach my next junction to turn south, Venus appeared, and then slowly, the Moon. My last chance?

As I continued south, along my last leg, I saw that the planet and moon were too low now. It would be difficult to see from street level.

When I arrived at Cam's, I apologised for changing the topic, but urged the boys and Hilary to try catching the conjunction from one of the bedrooms, upstairs.

I think they tried briefly but couldn't see anything for the roofs and clouds.
