No, do you use ATF or PS fluid in the power steering system?

Depends on what's wrong, really. If whatever you're using becomes extremely thick in cold temperatures, it could lock up the PS pump for a very short period of time, resulting in your belt screech.

Yes, that would be your power steering belt screeching. Check to make sure it's tight and not glazed over. If it's glazed or cracked, replace it.

Well is it when you turn the blower motor on, or when you turn the steering wheel?

If it's when you turn on AC or the defroster, then it's your AC compressor.

Wait, do what? That sentence didn't make any sense.
