Lately since it has been cold weather my car has been smoking more than ever before, today it let out bluish smoke from the exhaust. Is this normal or a warning sign for trouble ? I know they say some smoke is good but a lot of smoke is not, so what should I do?

Smoke isn't good. If the engine is running properly, there shouldn't be any. The only thing you can see is steam from the exhaust when it is first started cold. As far as blue smoke, that tells me that oil is being burned. How many miles are on the engine? Oil can get past worn piston rings, valve guide seals...

Let me know.
