Local weather expert Ben Noll predicts that snow will start falling between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m. on Sunday from the south to the north.

"The bulk of the accumulation will occur from Sunday into Sunday night, but light snow will probably continue through Monday morning," Noll wrote on Facebook Friday morning.

The worst of the storm should be Sunday afternoon and evening when snow rates may reach two inches per hour!

"During that time, travel may become impossible as deep snow covers roads," Noll adds.

Hudson Valley Weather says that snow will start falling between 6 a.m. and noon on Sunday and won't stop until between 3 a.m. and noon on Monday.

National Weather Service: 8 to 18 inches of snow, with "locally higher amounts possible."
