Golden hour is not the same length all year in Toledo. It is longest in December at about 44 minutes and shortest in March at about 36 minutes — a difference of 8 minutes of usable warm light per evening.
Toledo gets 6h 01m more daylight on the longest day than the shortest. Sunset moves from 5:04 PM in December to 9:10 PM in June, so an evening shoot that works in summer will be shooting in the dark at the same clock time in winter.
Blue hour follows sunset and is worth planning for separately: in June it runs until about 9:44 PM, and in December until about 5:36 PM.
Golden hour is the period near sunrise and sunset when the sun is low. Blue hour occurs before sunrise and after sunset. Calculated times vary with location and date; weather, terrain and buildings can affect visible light.
