When to clean gutters in Roaming Shores
The first fall frost comes around October 10 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around May 10 (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 Roaming Shores rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Roaming Shores the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 6.35 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 2). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 1,130 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 2,270, 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.
Roaming Shores averages about 90 inches of snow a year (NOAA normals). Snow on a roof brings ice dams: heat escaping from the house melts the snow, and the water refreezes at the cold eave, in the gutter and over it. University of Minnesota Extension puts the cause in the attic, not in the gutter, so a gutter that fills with ice is a symptom; hangers spaced to carry ice and a sound fascia are what the gutter itself needs.
