In this wet, cold, snowy season, slipping alt belts are the most likely
culprits, with worn regulator brushes coming in a distant second.

Driving through 8" of fresh snow will pack a lot of it around the
pulleys.  I have been getting the "idiot light stay on" syndrome for a
few seconds after starting my 90Q once in a while since last Wednesday's
storm.  Did I mention I really, really like my "new" Hakka One's?

It's a yucky time to do it, but if your belt is old, replace it with a
new metric one (Continental are very good).  If the belt is not old,
check tension, they stretch a bit.
