Frost is rare in Mather, 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 Mather rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In Mather the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 2.45 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 6). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 2,940 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 5,880, 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.
