I had an inspection yesterday with the old fiberboard siding. At one point where the siding was bowed out, there was frost underneath. Is that any indication of something else?

My guess is that the house was not Tyvek'd and there is air leaking out at that point and since it was -10, it formed frost.

A thermal image of that wall, inside and out, should be interesting. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
