Possibly cold rubber of the belt slipping against the cold metal of the clutch?

First thing I would try is removing the belt and cleaning the clutch surfaces (brake cleaner on a rag works). I would then clean any dust off the belt with something simple like a wet cloth and reinstall. This might not be the cause of the problem but it's the first thing I would try.
