When to clean gutters in Kyle
The first fall frost comes around October 1 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around May 11 (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 Kyle rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Kyle the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 6.50 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 8). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 1,110 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 2,220, 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.
