Usally its just exhaust carbon sitting in the exhaust mixed with water (condensation)
Once the exhaust fully heats (car warms up) up any moisture inside there will disapppear and you shouldnt see it. Also the choke kicks in when starting a cold motor you will notice that a little smoke will come out the back too.
It happens all the time.......its just more noticable in winter
