Re: Jack Frost
My guess is the pipe is generally colder than 32~ but the frost would only forms where there are water droplets. Can't say why the moisture is there.

Re: Jack Frost
Could be there is moisture in that specific area. Normally the air in a vent (depending on what it is venting) is just warm enough to prevent any freeze. I have seen this where the pipe is warmer that the air around, water vapor forms, temp drops, frost is formed.
