Green Bay Packers fans react on social media to team's early bye week, 2025 schedule
The NFL gave Green Bay Packers fans something new to talk about for the rest of the offseason when the 2025 NFL schedule was revealed May 14. Based on their opponents' 55.7% success rate in 2024, the Packers are tied for the fifth-toughest strength of schedule. Five of the Packers' last seven games are against teams who made the playoffs in 2024. One of the notable points on the schedule was the relatively early bye in Week 5. The last time the Packers had a bye week that early was the 2020 season. Advertisement Some fans on social media weren't huge fans of the early break. Other schedule highlights include a home game to open the season against the Detroit Lions, a "Monday Night Football" showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10 at Lambeau Field, and three straight games against NFC North opponents in Weeks 12-14.

Multi-vehicle crash on State 441 causes major traffic backup, snarls traffic for two hours
(This story was updated to include new information.) A multi-vehicle crash snarled the morning commute for about two hours May 9 on State 441's northbound lanes. The crash occurred around 7:30 a.m. in Little Chute, just south of the Northland Avenue exit, according to Wisconsin State Patrol. Both lanes were initially closed, but were reopened by 9:30 a.m. Three days prior, on May 6, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation put out a notice warning drivers that, due to road construction on the overpasses over Interstate 41, detoured traffic would result in backups during peak travel hours this summer. State 441's northbound Northland Avenue exit was one of the areas they said would be affected. The other area expected to experience backups is the southbound I-41 exit for Richmond Street in Appleton. Peak driving hours are 7 to 8:30 a.m., and 4 to 6 p.m., according to WisDOT.

Will you be able to see the Lunar eclipse in the Appleton area this week?
On Thursday, a blood moon will rise in the night sky as a total lunar eclipse becomes visible across the United States, including in Appleton. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon is full and aligned perfectly with the Earth and sun. This celestial event, unlike the total solar eclipse in April 2024, doesn't require special equipment to witness safely. It is also the first since November 2022. Here's what to know about the upcoming total lunar eclipse, including when and how to see it in the Appleton area. A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes into Earth's shadow while aligning with our planet and the sun, according to NASA. There are three different kinds of lunar eclipses: total, partial and penumbral. In a total lunar eclipse, like what is happening this week, the entire moon moves into the innermost and darkest part of Earth's shadow — dubbed the umbra — and completely blocks it from the sun, NASA says. If you want to see the total lunar eclipse in its prime, be ready to stay up past bedtime. According to the Penumbral Eclipse begins at 10:57 p.m., with the partial eclipse beginning 12:09 a.m. Friday. The total eclipse will take place at 1:26 a.m., before the maximum eclipse sets at 1:58 a.m. The total eclipse ends at 2:31 a.m. Because the sunlight is blocked, the moon will be dimmer than usual. But the effect will also paint its surface with a striking reddish-orange hue for a few hours, which is why they're sometimes called "blood moons." Although you don't need special equipment to see the total lunar eclipse, you should still seek out a dark environment for the best view. Here's some spots in the Appleton area that could give you some good spectating opportunities to see the total lunar eclipse. Hatten Park, 801 Werner-Allen Road, New London High Cliff State Park, N7630 State Park Road, Sherwood Mosquito Hill Nature Center, N3880 Rogers Road, New London Plamann Lake,1545 E. Broadway Drive, Appleton Rashad Alexander can be reached at ralexander@ and 920-431-8214.
