Brief start up squeel

Hello Everyone,

I changed my belt about 600 miles ago. I made sure it was tight and after about 30 miles i hit it with a little belt dressing. Everything has been fine but on two occasions when it was cold. The car started and squealed for a few seconds then it would stop. I looked at the belt and it looks like your average belt, a little bit of a sheen on the top. When I changed the belt the deflection in the center was probably a half inch. The deflection appears to be about te same. Could it be the weather? It happened only twice now but made the car seem ghetto. I rechecked the deflection and its a tad over 1/2" in the middle. The deflection really hasn't changed from what i remember. Anyone have idea what it is or should I just go and re tighten everything.

The squeel was only 2 seconds, not rev dependent and it happened 1-2seconds after start up.
