T-stat hasn't been changed in a long time nor has the coolant, housing (we all know about the problems that they can cause). The lights all came on around the freezing point and the belt was slipping big time. But not since then.
Forgive me if I've missed something ... but the symptoms you describe seem electrical ... maybe it's as simple as a slipping belt reducing the alternator's output ... or maybe the alternator is on its way out.
