Not uncommon in low temps, and higher outside humidity levels.
try running a GOOD portable dehumidifier. That's what we do. we can pull 3-5 gallons of water out the first day. then 1-2 gallons or more after that. You can pick them up at most home improvement stores for $100 or so.
Between moisture from the stove/oven (comes from burning propane, puts something like 3 qts of water in the air for every gallon of propane burned IIRC), moisture from perspration, confined space and single pane windows= potential moisture problems. high outside humidity, doesn't help either.
Propane forced air furnace does NOT add any moisture to interior air, that gets vented outside. However, NON vented propane heaters (big buddy, cat etc.) put water in the air, the 3 qts/gallon or so.
Also make sure the vent is one when cooking or showering.
