Residents woke up to clearing skies above a white blanket all around.

Residents like Jane woke up to discover a brilliant December red sky. She captured these stunning photos and shared with us. Such a scene from the east indicates a high pressure is moving away and coming from the west could be a low and associated storm. Thus the ole saying, Red sky at night, sailors’ delight. Red sky at morning, sailors take warning.

Blazes of yellow and red fill the mountainsides of Somersby Park with beautiful Carolina blue skies above.

Somersby Park resident Rosalyn captured some magical moments while on her walk along our trails. She wants to share with you. If you don’t live here, perhaps this will entice you to join us someday as Somersby Park is a great place to call home.

A massive cloud of dust from the Sahara Desert arrived in the North Carolina mountains as it traveled across the Atlantic Ocean. The phenomenon happens every year but the 2020 version is especially large and imposing, However the act of Mother Nature created some memorable moments captured by some of Somersby Park residents.
