How long does it take for snapping turtle eggs to hatch?

We've had 2 snapping turtles lay eggs in the yard and I want to keep an eye on the nests to see when the baby turtles start coming out. Any idea how long from the time the eggs are laid until the time they hatch?

"Incubation time is temperature-dependent, ranging from 9 to 18 weeks. In cooler climates, hatchlings overwinter in the nest."

That is just for the common snapping turtle so if it is another variety, the answer may be different.
