Unless you convert to the short belt at the same time, the idler pulleys should really be replaced as a pair (I found out the hard way).
One pulley is less than $40, and paying for the whole job over again as an emergency repair can set you back $200-$300, not including towing.
Below freezing, a few seconds of noise after a cold start from the belt area seems to be normal, at least in my car. Sub-zero, it can be more than a few seconds at idle.
Besides the idler pulleys, the waterpump (around $100 purchased online) is the next most common maintenance item driven by the belt, and can be installed by just about any mechanic in 1-1.5 hrs.
