Ya, I ran into some minor attic rain last year, and now again last night with the temps finally coming up above freezing yesterday. I have great soffits but no vents in the peak, and with a house built in 1987 there is random hot/moist air clearly getting up there.

Was up in the attic 2 days ago (anticipated the issue) and ya, pretty much every piece of metal had frost accumulation on it. Luckily not much build-up on the OSB sheeting itself, which at least indicates I'm not getting grotesque amount of moisture up there.

I had a company look at it last year and they suggested some ridge vents or whirly's, but I was hoping the issue was a one off last year (never had it before), but clearly not. Think over the summer I'll be biting the bullet and having them installed.
