When to clean gutters in College Station
The first fall frost comes around November 30 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around February 27 (median dates, NOAA normals). A fall cleaning set for the weeks after that frost, when the branches over the house are bare, gets the year’s leaves in one trip; a spring visit follows once the pollen and catkins have come down.
