When to clean gutters in Niederwald
The first fall frost comes around November 29 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around February 28 (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.

Gutter and downspout size for Niederwald rain
Gutters are sized for the worst few minutes of a storm, not for the year. In Niederwald the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 9.54 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 11). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 750 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,510, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.
