Damaged motor?
So, amidst the driving through heavy snow fall (about a foot), my serpentine belt slipped and I was left without powersteering, alternator and such for a good 8 miles or so until I got home. I am wondering if I damaged the motor a lot by running it without the belt?

Damn, that must have been about 15 minutes of no water pump. If it was already up to temp when this happenned that's a long time, did the temp guage show that it was getting hot?
Could end up being a real expensive 8 miles, that's why I keep an old serpentine belt in the tool box.
