What to expect for snapshot size?

$

General question here regarding the size of vmware snapshots (or for that matter any snapshots really).

 

For the sake of asking the question here is a very basic example:

If I had  a 10GB VM and I take a snapshot; the first snapshot will be close to zero.  So now lets say I let that snapshot sit for a week and during that week the VM sees 2GB of changes to the file system.

 

Will the snapshot then be 2GB in size?

 

If I let the snapshot go another week and the VM sees another 1GB in change to files (deletes, adds, modifies) will the snapshot then be 3GB in size?

 

thanks
