That's a fairly good non-technical term:-)

Possibly your alternator drive belt is a bit loose (or wet from all the
splashing) and couldn't keep up with the demand of the AC and the wipers
and the heater fan. You may have been running on the battery as much as
anything. Good idea to have somebody check the tightness of your belts
once in awhile, especially wtih winter settling in. . . .

Kinda sounds like a LADA type of problem :-)

No big worry, but look into it.
