I jumped it and it almost immediately died.  I am less than thrilled to say the least.  I left it parked somewhere.   
 
Before this I saw the ABS light and the occasional battery light.  I mean like in the previous 2 miles.  I was -><- close to being home too.   
 
Anyways, I'm just thrilled.  I was thinking about buying a new battery and at a minimum take it to the shop to check the alternator.  Can O'Reileys do this?  With the battery hooked up? 
 
I guess that does it for now. 
 
I tried to start it in gear and got nothing too.  It also has been like 20 here the last 2 weeks which probabily was hell on the battery I'd guess.  I live in Mobile, AL for your information. 
 
Any suggestions? 
 
Thanks!!!

First thing to check is if you broke the belt.  And then start thinking about an alternator.
