But Noll notes heavy snow on Sunday morning, with temperatures near zero, is very unusual.<\/p>\n He says the frigid air could produce some of the most powdery snow in 30 years. He says the setup is eerily similar to the Blizzard of 1996, when temperatures hovered between 5 and 10 degrees.<\/p>\n Only a southward shift in the storm could spare the region from a big accumulation, and that\u2019s looking less likely as the weekend approaches.<\/p>\n Snowfall Timing And Predictions<\/p>\n Snow is expected to begin early Sunday morning and continue into Monday. Noll is currently predicting a near 100 percent chance of at least six inches of snow and an over 80 percent chance of over a foot.<\/p>\n Roads could become undrivable, and school closures on Monday are likely.
