When to clean gutters in Cumings
The first fall frost comes around December 13 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around February 9 (median dates, NOAA normals).

Gutter and downspout size for Cumings rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Cumings the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 9.85 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 11). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 730 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,460, 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.
