Nothing interesting - is there a load a snow forecast in Newcastle for Friday?
Need to know if my flight is gonna be ok on Friday.
Its forecast for Thursday, but I dont know about Friday.
You should just get the train - it only takes 2.5 hours from London. And it gets you bang in the centre of town. The airport will take you about an hour to get to your hotel (if its in town? Ah you said Jesmond didn't you? Thats not as bad then.)

I'm staying at a mates house - he's meeting me at the airport so we can get out on the piss asap - plus I've already booked my flight.
If the planes are f**ked, I don't hold out much hope for the trains!!

The north east doesn't grind to a stop with a bit of snow man! We're not London you know - the army wont be called out or anything!
You'll be fine unless theres a propper un-natural blizzard (and btw, even then - dont wear your coat!)
