Default A/C clutch bearing/noise?

Today I heard a squeal coming from under the hood. It's been very cold lately and sometimes things tend to make noises when could. After inspection it looks like it's coming from the a/c clutch area. A small shot of lube and the noise went away.

Does this mean the bearing is going out? Until I remove the belt and spin it I guess it's hard to say. I assume it's replaceable vs getting the whole a/c compressor. Thanks.

It is did it just because it is cold and did it once then it could just be the belt. You cant find a problem if it did it once and you cant find the issue while it is doing it.
