Snow warning to Saints fans travelling to Newcastle

Snow warning to Saints fans travelling to Newcastle Snow warning to Saints fans travelling to Newcastle

SAINTS fans travelling north today will face tough driving conditions as heavy snow continues to fall.

The Premier League match against Newcastle at St James Park tomorrow lunchtime has seen Saints sell out their allocation of tickets, with many making the journey up today.

They will face significant snow showers throughout this morning and most of the afternoon, with the Met Office issuing yellow snow warnings for the area around the stadium.

These will gradually ease and it will become drier into this evening.

Those making the early morning trip north tomorrow morning will face much drier conditions, but after a cold night there will be widespread frost and icy conditions, with the odd wintery showers.

There are currently major delays on the A1, which had earlier been closed between junctions 44 and 45, causing three-mile tailbacks.

It has now been reopened but motorists are still facing long queues.

There is already a few inches that has fallen and it continues to snow. Hopefully I can make the 5 miles to the match.

Yellow snow warnings for the area around the stadium? Won't be eating that stuff then.

Fine in Ripon right now. Just a slight flurry this morning, but we expect a fair bit more on this afternoon's journey north.

Safely arrived at Travelodge, about to head into town. Should be there around 5.30-45. We'll see you soon in the foyer of the Indigo.

I normally park at Dean St multi storey which is just off the Tyne Bridge and then about a 10 min walk through town.

Dead easy to then get back out and no issues with traffic

I will be thinking of you all making your way through the snow. You are very brave and, of course, hope you get the reward of 3 points.

After yesterday's results these would be very welcome.
