I just started using a CB radio since not having one since 1977 or 1978. I am also a licensed ham radio operator, but I find that traffic jams are much better reported by truckers than other hams. Plus it's nice to have the severe weather radio aspect of the CB radio.
I urge everyone to get a ham radio license! It's not that hard and it's a great hobby.

For severe weather we now have NOAA on the smart phone plus every state has 511weather that has evrything about closures storms etc. Now my MH has a NOAA selection along with AM, FM, and satellite all in the factory installed units.
