The conjunction of Jupiter and Venus this evening was a nice treat considering earlier in the day we had snow showers, so I wasn't expecting to observe this close planetary conjunction. Jupiter and Venus were only 3° 0' apart this evening as I observed them in the western sky from my back porch overlooking the city of Victoria.
