When to clean gutters in Pace
The first fall frost comes around December 9 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around February 17 (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 Pace rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Pace the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 10.99 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 9). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 660 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,310, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.
