Well, I started the car this morning, at -1*c and not much more than the usual overnight cold diesel smoke that I've seen for three years.
Drove to work. left work at lunch...no new smoke. then for some reason at 5:00 today (after 4 hours sitting at 8*c, POOF, a good puff of whitish/bluish/brownish smoke came out, dense enough to cast a shadow.
