Explanation:

1. In the first sentence, "its" should be "it's" (a contraction of "it is") as it indicates "it is going to be snowing".
2. In the last sentence, "who's" is a contraction of "who is", but here we need the possessive "whose" to show ownership of the textbooks.

1. Don't forget to pack your coat and hat, because its going to be snowing in Minnesota all week.
2. We are not certain who's textbooks these are, but we want to find out so that we can return them.
