It is because here the percentage level of humidity in the air is MUCH higher is this area than from where most of us used to live.. .Sometimes it is like breathing WATER to me.


It is a very short lived problem due to the cold temperature outside..


It happens IN REVERSE when it is VERY, very hot outside and the air conditioning is set low inside. Than the condensation is on the outside.


It is the same principle as an icy drink sweating.


WE have had eleven NEW homes in our lifetime. Our last one had high end Pella Windows and some of them fell apart from dry rot. Give me metal.
