To find how many total inches will fall over the next 24 hours, we need to determine the rate of snowfall and then multiply that rate by the number of hours in 24 hours.
Since 7 inches of snow has fallen in 4 hours, we can find the rate of snowfall by dividing the total inches by the number of hours: 7 inches / 4 hours = 1.75 inches/hour.
To find the total inches that will fall over the next 24 hours, we can multiply the rate of snowfall by the number of hours: 1.75 inches/hour * 24 hours = 42 inches.
Therefore, if the pace of snowfall continues, a total of 42 inches of snow will fall over the next 24 hours. Answer: \boxed{42}.
