Unidentified Speaker, a CDOT staff member, delivered a short holiday travel and weather advisory, saying Thanksgiving Day conditions should be generally favorable but warning of changing weather later in the weekend. The speaker noted that traffic is usually lighter on Thanksgiving itself but emphasized caution as winter conditions begin.

The speaker said motorists should expect conditions to deteriorate after Black Friday when "we are expecting snow both Saturday and Sunday," describing the precipitation as "2 different waves." He cautioned that while it may not be a major snow event, it will likely be "enough to require chains on the big rigs and snow tires for everybody else." CDOT advised drivers to plan for reduced speeds and to carry appropriate equipment for mountain travel.

The advisory included a direct safety appeal: "Please don't drink and drive." The speaker framed the reminder in the context of increased travel during the holiday weekend and urged motorists to prioritize safety.

The staff member closed by urging drivers to prepare for winter weather on the I-70 corridor, suggesting motorists bring warm clothing and be ready for snow-related delays. No formal actions or directives were recorded in the advisory; it was presented as guidance to motorists ahead of the holiday weekend.
