Default Icicles on attic vent

Which makes it even less likely that the vent was put there for attic
ventilation. The siding with the tiny holes on the soffit is
continous soffit venting. Normally, that is all that is used to
provide the soffit venting. It makes no sense to then just add this
one 4" additional vent.


Yeah, since it's below the floor of the attic, I can't really know for
sure. But, I think you are right, it must be a vent for something, I just
don't know what.


You are definitely right. I stuck my hand out the adjacent window and could
feel the exhaust from the bathroom fan. So, the icicles are not a problem
then.

Good to see you found out what it is. And you are right, the black
pipe from the bathroom up through the roof is the plumbing vent.
