Is it also admited this use of неужели? Thank you.

...поэтому зима в этом регионе (области, районе) может затянуться из-за сильного снегопада.
"It is possible" means a mere possibility, nothing more. It shouldn't be translated as неужели.
Though if it were "is it possible?" it could be translated as "возможно ли?", "неужели?" or "разве?".
