‘All hands on deck’: DC area preps for biggest snow in years

D.C. is preparing for a large amount of snow this weekend.

“We’re looking to get more snow than we’ve got in the previous years,” said Warnique West, D.C.’s “Snow Queen” and director of snow operations for the Department of Public Works.

“Right now we’re prepping all of our equipment, making sure that it’s ready. We have notified our staff that we’re going to be here for maybe a few days at a time,” West said.

She’s following weather forecasts and projections for the incoming storm.
