Cold weather is back and so is initial start up rough idle...any ideas?

Just happens for the first few seconds it starts up and then kinda smooths out. Normal? Or is it just the time it takes the computer to recal for the new outside temp to run the engine?

Sounds normal. I'd imagine it takes a few seconds to get the fuel, exhaust, etc. flow going smoothly
