Gutter and downspout size for Castle Pines Village rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Castle Pines Village the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 5.88 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 8). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 1,220 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 2,450, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook. Try your own roof in the gutter and downspout calculator, which starts from this figure.
Castle Pines Village averages about 58 inches of snow a year (NOAA normals). Snow on a roof brings ice dams: heat escaping from the house melts the snow, and the water refreezes at the cold eave, in the gutter and over it. University of Minnesota Extension puts the cause in the attic, not in the gutter, so a gutter that fills with ice is a symptom; hangers spaced to carry ice and a sound fascia are what the gutter itself needs.
