WBZ Evening News Update For January 10, 2024

There's a special sound coming from Kenosha that you've probably never heard. That's because it's an instrument played by only one person in the world.

“It resonates with something inside me," Wilhelm Matthies said.

The instrument is called a Mosesa. It's a bit like a smaller and skinnier cello that is played horizontally. No one else plays it because the instrument was invented by Matthies inside his Kenosha home. He's a musician, artist, creator, and inventor.

NEW BERLIN — We Energies is blaming the heavy snow and cold for all of the power outages Friday to Monday.

After two and a half days, the power has been restored on Meadow Lane in New Berlin.

The owner of 19th Hole Country Club in New Berlin was busy warming the place back up.

“When I got here yesterday morning, it was 42 degrees in here,” said Susan Pirlot. "I’ve been without business since Friday night. It was a significant loss. I don’t know yet if insurance will cover it or not. I haven’t gotten that far.”

The power did not come on until about 11:30 a.m. Monday. Neighbor Dave Podd said, “It’s about time! I can take a shower.”

About 60 hours with no power. We Energies spokesman Brendan Conway could not confirm exactly what caused this outage, but scattered outages took place this weekend due to the snow taking down tree limbs onto their equipment.

With the cold temperatures, many small lakes and ponds are starting to freeze over. On the coldest day of the year, ice fishers were out braving the elements all in hopes of catching a big fish.

Fishermen say, with such a warm December, these are the first changes they've gotten to get on the ice with rod and reel. 

These cold temperatures mean big business for R&R Sporting Goods Fishin' Hole in St Francis.

"Ice fishing is a tremendous sport in the winter, it’s a lot of fun," said Roger Stack, general manager.

As more people head out on the ice, Stack recommends certain tools for safety, including a spud bar to check the ice in front of you, ice cleats, ice picks to climb out if you fall through the ice, and an SOS jacket.
