I was wondering... during the winter months, how close should the attic temperature be to the outside temperature? What is the ideal range?

Your attic temperature should be at or near the outside air temperature if it is well ventilated and does not leak warm air into the attic from below.

At the moment the attic floor is properly insulated, and has a 3/4 plywood floor on top of that. I am going to install an attic tent for the pull down attic stairs. What else can I do to prevent heat leakage into the attic?
