Hi George,
Unfortunately that's how the weather generally goes in Ohio too. My wife saw the 2 planets on a clear night a couple days ago, they're getting close. One of my sons is going to try with my Canon 7DMk2 camera & 500mm telephoto lens on a fixed tripod. The planets require a clear southwest horizon to see them from 40°N about 1 hr after sunset.
We'll see how it goes.
