Two stunning December sunsets and two more

By Jason Samenow

Sunset over CatoctinRidge on Friday, December 9 (Jack Toomey) Aside from the record-setting deluge a week ago (December 6-7, the only time it has rained), the weather has been as placid as it gets for December this year. Interesting weather photo opportunities have thus been slim, except if you’re into sunsets. Two of our Facebook fans, Jack Toomey and Chris McNulty captured two jaw dropping examples!

Ashburn, Va. on November 23 (Jason Demers) UPDATE 2 - Capital Weather Gang Facebook fan Jason Demers points us to the image above, also taken November 23 from Ashburn, Va.

Remember, we always welcome you to submit weather photos to us on Facebook, Twitter (@capitalweather) and via email (weather@washpost.com).
