That’s right, while British Summer time may be long gone and snow and ice warnings are on the horizon, we can’t be too despondent.
Christmas is on the way and those crisp mornings can be a stunning way to see the city.
Take a trip with us across the city and wider area while we explain why we love Newcastle and North Tyneside at this time of year.
5. Newcastle Christmas Market
Over the winter months the area around Grey's Monument gets transformed into a winter wonderland full of independent retailers and food stalls, offering something a bit different to the normal lunch breaks! | Facebook
6. Snowy scenes
We may be biased, but Newcastle looks absolutely stunning in the snow. As much as it can delay journeys, the snowy scenes are often worth the wait! | NL Photo: Newcastle Libraries
7. Pantomimes
Pantos don't need to be the traditional familiy affair we all know and love. Newcastle's array of theatres offer some adult only options with more risque performances. Teh city has something for everyone! Photo: PA Images
