Blowing white smoke from exhaust

Hi folks,
I've searched this and the 9-5 board on the topic and it seems like there are mixed reports. So, I thought I would check with everyone again before I go marching (back) to my dealer.
1999 9-3 SE HOT 5spd with perf. exhaust, 47k miles
I was just moving cars around in the driveway and my friend noticed some white smoke coming out of my exhaust. So I checked myself. Sure enough when starting up cold, at idle, a little blip of the exhaust makes some white smoke blow out. After about 10 minutes of idles there's much less (only on throttle release).
I had the head gasket replaced at 45k miles, new plugs, a new K&N filter, and oil / coolant change. I check all fluids before every road trip and I have not lost any oil / coolant in 2k miles. All fluids look good too.
Should I be concerned? I'm up here in NYC vising friends and it is a bit humid. I've got 450 miles to drive back home tomorow.
Thanks all,
Nemo
