Default Belt squealing on old mornings... too tight?

I replaced my AC belt a few months back and its been working great, but now that its getting cold in the mornings when I start the car up sometimes it will squeal like a pig getting molested. I usually give it some revs and it dies off but its bloody annoying and probably waking my neighbors up. I'm thinking its probably just too tight. Can anyone confirm this symptom?

I had the same problem, its loose... I used some traction spary temporarily until I had time to do it right and that solved the problem for a while.

Lol...the AND part was what I was getting at. Let me rephrase:

I wish we could not only edit our posts, but additionally have the ability to edit our titles once we have started a thread.
