* Wind advisory tonight through 4 a.m.* On a day like this, it's easy to tell spring isn't far away.

That front passes this evening and is expected to bring scattered to numerous showers and storms, some of which could be intense. Temperatures are expected to then fall sharply tonight as winds from the northwest usher in a fleeting taste of chilly weather for the last day of meteorological winter (Feb. 29).

You can never have too many power adapters on hand.

  The General Assembly is INTERPOL's supreme governing body and comprises delegates appointed by the governments of our member countries. It meets once a year and takes all the major decisions affecting general policy, the resources needed for international cooperation, working methods, finances and programmes of activities. These decisions are in the form of resolutions.

During the four-day conference that runs from 28 November to 1 December, senior police...

11 May – With most of his time cooped up at home during the pandemic, Bobby Au Yeung recently revealed that he has been using his free time to write a movie for the first time. As reported on Mingpao, the actor, who appeared at the promotional event of his new drama, "Shadow of Justice", revealed that a friend has recently asked him to try and become a screenwriter for a major online movie, which he decided to take on after much deliberation. "I have been passive for more than 30 years. I act out what other people write. But if I participate as a screenwriter, I am more proactive. I believe I can even write a more challenging role for myself," he said. Bobby also added that he hopes to try his hands on producing and film editing as well. Nonetheless, the actor stressed that his new interest does not mean he is retreating to work behind the scenes. "I just want to learn more. I still love acting. It's just that, people's mentality changes at a certain a...

(WHTM) — Winter storms can be impactful, but a winter storm does not mean it can only contain snow. It could mean a mixed bag of precipitation. Freezing rain, sleet, and snow can all cause headaches when driving or cleaning off sidewalks and driveways. So what is the difference between all of those terms? Freezing Rain According to the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL), freezing rain occurs when snowflakes fall into a warmer layer of air and melt into rain. When the water hits a second layer of freezing air as its falling, it becomes cold again, but not enough to make it freeze. When the droplets hit the surface, that is when it freezes on contact if the surface is below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. This freezing of water makes a glaze of ice that make surfaces extremely slick and dangerous to walk or drive on. The water can also freeze around trees, power lines, and other surfaces. A significant accumulation of freezing rain whi...

Summary House M.D. defies medical drama norms by elevating character complexity and audience engagement. Hugh Laurie's portrayal of Dr. House, along with impeccable writing, adds depth to the show. Interpersonal relationships, character growth, humor, drama, and mystery elements make House exceptional. House M.D. is completely singular and unique as a show, despite sharing much in common with other medical drama shows. House may have faded to black in its final season in 2012, but the show continues to stand out and rank as one of the most watched and beloved shows more than 10 years later (via Screen Rant ). On the surface, it may not be clear what is so unique and appealing about House to warrant such a dedicated fanbase, but anyone who has watched the show and grown to love the imperfect characters will likely understand. House is not the average medical drama show, with a new case to solve each week, although, it does have that...
