When to clean gutters in George
The first fall frost comes around October 16 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around April 21 (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.

Weather and gutters in George
George is dry by national standards, about 7 inches in a normal year, but much of the rain that does come can arrive in short, hard storms. Where gutters are used here, the job is moving that burst away from the foundation, and keeping a dry season’s dust and debris from blocking the first storm.
NOAA Atlas 14 does not cover Washington and Oregon, so there is no current federal estimate of the short downpour for George; NOAA plans published Atlas 15 estimates for the lower 48 states no earlier than September 2027. Here gutters are sized from the roof and the local building department’s design rate.
