The first fall frost comes around December 1 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around February 25 (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 Panama City Beach rain
Gutters are sized for the worst few minutes of a storm, not for the year. In Panama City Beach the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 10.46 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 9).
