Your car is fine, smoke is normal at start up, its just the fuel that isnt completely burnt when the motor was turning over. I think you post in the wrong section though.

I wouldn't say it's normal but I wouldn't worry yet.

Sounds fine to me, especially since it's getting colder out now and it's only for a few seconds.
