When to clean gutters in Goshen
The first fall frost comes around October 31 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around April 4 (median dates, NOAA normals). Booking the fall cleaning after the first frost, once the trees over the roof are bare, catches the season’s drop in one visit; the spring cleaning comes after the pollen and catkins are down.

Gutter and downspout size for Goshen rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In Goshen the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 7.42 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 9). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 970 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,940, 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.
