Exhaust color

Good morning,

It has been cold outside (-10~10'F). When I warm up my 04 F-250 6.0 Diesel for a few minutes I notice condensed exhaust has yellowish tinge to it. It's quite noticeable against snow on the ground. Is this normal?

I do quite a few cold starts here west of Denver as well. For what it's worth, I have never noticed a yellowish tint on the snow (except from my dog ), but black. I really hope for your sake that isn't coolant.

That was funny!

I use ELC coolant thus I can rule it out as the source.
