for Frost to form on the inside of the Windows

Depends on what you have.* Single or double pane?* Storm windows?* Metal
frames?* Frost on the glass or frame?

If you live in a cold climate you should have a good double pane window
and you will never see condensation.

What do you have?* What state are you in?


Also depends on the humidity level inside the home.

Depends almost entirely on humidity inside the house


Not as much with double or triple pane glass windows. Having a well
insulated window and higher humidity in the home won't produce as much
moisture/condensation than with the same humidity and lower insulated glass.

It still all boils down to humidity.

Actually, to dew point and glass temperature - but the dew point is
STILL relative humidity. If the humidity is low enough you won't get
condensation on a single pane window at -40.
