iceman is right. Tighten or/and replace the belt, no big deal.

It wouldn't be a surprise in freezing conditions (like in canada lol) but it shouldn't be ur case.
What I would do ... take WD40 (or belt "dressing", which is even better) and spray on belts before u start the car. If it works - belts must be dirty (sand or whatever - u can live with that), if not - take it to the shop.

PS: didn't read ur post carefully - disregard my post
