I also had the squeal and my dealer replaced my belt and all pulleys to try to curtail it. 2 months later, I am still getting the squeal on cold startup (30 degrees or below pretty much). My dealer said he'll adjust the tension next time I'm in for service as the new belt may have stretched.

Anyway, if this is in fact a normal cost of cold weather, then I got a free belt and pulleys for nothing! That's exciting, as I think I would have replaced them at my 60k service (17k miles from now) anyway! And that would have NOT been warrantied.
