Do a disk check to see if any errors show up, and clone your hard drive. Macrium Reflect (free version) is great, but you'd need a big enough external hard drive. Make a rescue disk, and if your hard drive fails, you can use that and the backup to get everything back the way it was on a new hard drive, which is much cheaper than a whole new laptop!
But hopefully it was just running a task in the background, and everything is fine!
And I wish you snow! Our's was a one-day wonder, and we are back to 40F, but it's nice and sunny! Time to start cooking pretty soon! *g*
