I have vinyl siding with one inch foam insulation behind it. Siding is not water tight. It has weep holes to let water out. That's probably what I'm seeing.

I don't even have icicles never mind ice build up. Must be condensation bleeding through the siding.

Another thing I saw this morning: random water droplets on my siding in back of the house. It snowed last night and there is no ice damming. I also have ice/water shield. The water is clear and...

Yeah, not worried about that snow spot. The rest of the snow melted when we hit 50 degrees for two days. That one spot was just deeper. More curious about the frost pattern and heat loss.

This is all great info. Yes, gambrel style roof and sloped ceiling going up the stairs then in the back of the house too. What did they do back in the 70's? Just live with ice dams or we're houses...

Right but there must be an air leak somewhere to let all that heat into the attic. Maybe I'm over analyzing here. Just don't want an ice dam and leaks as I have in the past. Haven't noticed any so...

Full soffit and ridge venting with baffles. Any idea why I'd be losing heat above the stairs?

Thanks for the replies. Just worried about ice dams which were bad before the insulation job. The pile of snow was a drift. We then had the classic January thaw melting most of the snow. So no...

Frost pattern on roof

What do you make of this frost pattern? I had blown in cellulose installed two years ago with baffles and air sealing. Why would I still be getting this air leakage? Should I be concerned about...

If the span was too great then wouldn't the entire roof be sagging? So that's probably not the case...the crown being upside down is the only cause left that I can think of that makes sense.

Yeah, i would probably agree. Just paranoid I guess. What would cause a dip like that? The roof is slightly wavy which makes sense given the age of the house...roofs get wavy, I get it. But why...
