Wayne, I put in a powered vent fan on the other side of the roof. Same type as I put on my well house, with a built-in temperature switch. Here is the wellhouse showing the type of vent fan I put in on the roof. It does a good job.
On another note, it has been very cold down here. It is highly unusual to get below freezing for more than a day, but we have had 5 straight nights of below freezing. I know you guys up north are laughing, but hey, we're not used to it like y'all are. I had to start the truck early and pour water on the windshield to get rid of the ice. I didn't have any problem with broken pipes, but other people have. One friend of mine was gone for the weekend, and he had his pipes break in about 5 places! Here is a photo I took this morning showing the frost on the ground and the roof.
