Answer 2

If 7 inches of snow fell over the past 4 hours, then the rate of snowfall is 7 inches/4 hours = 1.75 inches/hour.

Therefore, if the pace continues for the next 24 hours, the total inches of snow that will fall will be 1.75 inches/hour * 24 hours = <<1.75*24=42>>42 inches. Answer: \boxed{42}.
