So Missouri is being hammered by Gia. There's already 8 inches of snow where I'm at and is supposed to continue snowing until tomorrow night. On my way home from work, there was a wreck so I took a gravel road that hasn't been plowed or driven on yet. The snow was above the bottom of my bumper, I was basically plowing a couple inches off the top because this car is so low. As I was driving, my heater fan slowed down significantly and my headlights dimmed. I stopped and then everything went back to normal and didn't do it again as I kept driving. My first thought was the belt slipping from being wet, and I hope I am right because alternators aren't cheap. I stopped when I got to the 3 way and opened the hood to find snow and water covering everything. I got on the highway and got on it a little bit and the belt squealed just once but that's about it. It's running fine other than the issues above that went away. Right now I'm sitting in my driveway letting it idle hoping to dry it up before I go in and it refreezes overnight. Is there anything I should check specifically in the morning? Should I be worried? Thanks.
