Frost and ice forms in attics when warm humid air accumulates and condenses on the underside of your roof sheathing. That s about it pretty simple.

It can cause serious. When warm air from inside the house escapes traveling up through the bypasses the moisture condenses on the roof boards and rafters where the frost can form. When the moisture gets into the attic it condenses on the roof.
