Squealing is more likely to be one of the AUX belts - i.e. the Alternator belt.
Common during winter when electrical loads are high and atmosphere damp!
Have you checked the battery condition? If its failing (i.e. < 12.5v) then the alternator has its work cut out, needs more energy to turn it - hence the squealing when the belt slips.
Does it constantly squeal or just for a bit after starting? Could be a belt roller/tension I suppose?
