Where in Texas? I am in the DFW area and I know that ice storm was bad here.... but my car has never done that kind of noise before.

Could be your belts squeeking, all iced up:

^^^^ yup..how many miles do you have on your car? if you have about 25-30 thousand, you might think about changing out all your belts.

yea that whole snow and ice storm thing was awesome! i had the most fun with my tibi, i found a nice big empty parking lot and just let it loose. to my suprise after 2 days doing that like all day, i got pretty good at learning the way my car handles through my own slalom anst stuff, not to mention my awesome e-brake drfiting, hah...atleast on the ice. most fun i ever had with my car.

but on to your question, yea the cold weather must have jacked up your belts, look at all your belts, and if there is too much tension and its cracked, its time for a new belt(s)
