Default engine squeak?

i did a brief search earlier but most seemed to be individualized to its own specific case. i was wondering if anyone else had this problem, since about two weaks or so id have this squeak when i started up the car, and it sounds like its a belt, but ive only noticed it since its gotten colder. i don't know if that plays a factor. also its seems like the squeak quiets down or goes away after the car has been running a while. its much more prevalent when the car has just be started. has anyone else notice this? and if so anyone know what it could be and how i could fix it? greatly appreciate any suggestions.

its probably just your belt or a pulley, considering you said its gotten worse because of the cold....this will condence water and make the squeaking worse....shouldnt be a big deal...switch the belt if you want...

^Co-sign. It's a belt or pulley. My DD Maxima does this, as did my old one. Squeaking pulley for me, and is VERY loud when it's cold. Like wake up the neighbors loud.
