Check your belt to see if it's glazed. Also, does it change when you turn your A/C on/off?

Sounds like a belt to me.
My old Shadow would do the same thing in the winter. Esp when it was REALLY Cold and I had the rear window heat on.

Check belt and tension adjustment.

ok well when stuff gets cold everything contracts so it could be ur belt is pulling to tightly or ur tensinor is not pulling tight enough. u should loosen the tensinor and let it retighten and see if ti still squeeks

if so you can use a parafin wax candle and run it on the belt for a few rotations( this will help renew a worn out belt and help it get grip onto the metal).

you can get ur alternator tested and see if it is showing up bad if it is it could be the bearings in the alternator going out.

you can get a Stethoscope ( doctors use to check ur heart beat) and put it up to each individual pully and see where the suqeeking is comming from that will give u a better idea of what could be going rong and what needs to be replaced to fix the squeeking. CAUTION: be carefull when doing this to not get it caught up in the belt or any other moving parts.
