Frost in attic rafters.

Our dryer vents up through the attic to the roof. When the moisture gets into the attic it condenses on the roof. Will it cause any harm. That s about it pretty simple.

Near the ridge the frost free area extends over the garage a bit because warm air rises and it ends up near the ridge.
