Default Attic nails dripping


"Gntry" wrote in message news:HQwzf.2167$pq5.1585@trndny02...
I live in western NY and the weather here for the last week or so has been
around low 30"s, I was in the attic the other day and the nails coming
through the roof are dripping water....I have a full ridge vent, full soffit
on the west side of the house(and they aren't blocked by any insulation),
and gable vents. It is definately cold in the attic and there is about R25
on floor w/ barrier down towards living space, the roof was replaced about
10 yrs ago....what is causing this and should I be concerned?


Is it possible that the problem is caused by having the attic door opened?
If you go up, is the moisture there when you first get there, or only after
its been opened for awhile?
