Frost is rare in Lamar, and in many years there is none (NOAA normals). With no hard freeze to strip the trees, the fall cleaning follows the leaf drop itself; book it once the trees over the roof are bare, and plan a second visit in spring.

Gutter and downspout size for Lamar rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Lamar the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 9.96 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 11). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 720 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,450, 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.
