When to clean gutters in Five Points
The first fall frost comes around October 26 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around April 17 (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.

The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In Five Points the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 6.88 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 2). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 1,050 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 2,090, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.
