Ice Dams

If your home has ice in your gutters or hanging from your eaves you have want the remodeling industry calls ice dams. These can melt into your rooms below and damage your ceiling, walls and furniture.
They occur from snow melting into your metal gutters which turn water to ice. The melting snow continues with sun shine and escaping house heat. The water backs up under your roof shingles, each night freezing again.More melting means potential entry from roof into your living space.
One way to solve your issue is removing the snow build up soon after the snow storm is over.
Another way is better ventilation and insulation over those wall/ceiling joints.
