When to clean gutters in Loma Rica
The first fall frost comes around November 17 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around April 1 (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 Loma Rica the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 2.86 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 6). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 2,520 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 5,030, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.
