Just Some Blue Smoke...

I have mentioned on this BB a couple of times the following situation:
Upon start-up in the morning (9 to 12h rest) when outside temp.is aroud 5C or less ,blue smoke comes out of the exhaust after a few seconds at idle and only for a few seconds (sometimes a cloud of blue smoke!).First I thought valve seals and maybe the transition to synthetic (including I went to 5W50).So on the last oil change even if it is getting colder I tried 10W30 Syntec Castrol.I still get blue smoke when starting it in the morning at about the same outside temp.(5C) but since the weather is getting colder I also noticed it smokes only (upon start-up in the morning) when the temp. is between 5C and -3C."BUT" when the outside temp is below that, it just does not smoke ! I do not plan to investigate by taking the head off and checking since it is something I can live with (when I know it will smoke I start it and leave!)But I am curious and can not think of an explanation.
Any idea?
