It's always been a problem here in New York. Any house with a roof warmer then the cold, unheated eaves/overhangs has problems. Often, trying to let more heat into the attic to warm the roof will make it worse, not better.

Come spring, you see a lot of roof eaves with holes in them from people hammering on them with a claw hammer or hachet.
