When water, antifreze, and oild mix, the solution turns MILKY WHITE in color. If a milky white solution is found in the engine oil, it is an indication os a coolant leak.

Have you been losing coolant at all? Someone had a similar problem and everyone suggested that it might just be condensation getting into the oil. Check to see if you're losing coolant though.

If its like that every single time you check your oil, even after fresh oil change it could be leaking seal, but chance are its just condensation, sepecialy since its colder weather.

the condensation usually occurs if your not driving very long and your car doesn't get fully warmed up. As long as your coolant level is ok, I'd just change your oil and you should be all ok, just try to drive it for a good 10-15 minutes when you drive it, and it shouldn't happen anymore
