When to clean gutters in Camp Swift
The first fall frost comes around November 24 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around March 4 (median dates, NOAA normals). Booking the fall cleaning after the first frost, once the trees over the roof are bare, catches the season’s drop in one visit; the spring cleaning comes after the pollen and catkins are down.

Gutter and downspout size for Camp Swift rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Camp Swift the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 9.26 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 11). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 780 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,560, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.
