COLD WEATHER SCREECHING SOUND COMING FROM BELT?

HI all,
I have a 2003 TrailBlazer and everytime i start it up after it has been sitting a while, there is a "screeching sound" that sounds like its coming from a belt.the soundstarts off slow then picks up a little. After the car has warmed up, the sound stops. This only happens in cold weather. I thought i had my belts replaced so i dont know what it could be. Any ideas?
