Startup Question

Ok this is pretty much a useless question but I have been wondering why this happens so im just asking...Here lately when i have been starting my 02 24V up it throws a little cloud of black smoke out....it didnt do this all winter...Ive owned it since sept of last year and it has 103,000 miles on it....just wonderig what causes it to throw a little cloud out sometimes??
