When to clean gutters in Romoland
The first fall frost comes around December 10 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around January 31 (median dates, NOAA normals). Plan the fall visit for after the frost, when the trees over the roof have finished dropping, and the spring visit for after the pollen and catkins.

Gutter and downspout size for Romoland rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In Romoland the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 2.59 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 6). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 2,780 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 5,560, 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.
Romoland is dry by national standards, about 12 inches in a normal year, but much of the rain that does come can arrive in short, hard storms: the five-minute downpour expected once in ten years still runs at 2.59 inches an hour. Where gutters are used here, the job is moving that burst away from the foundation, and keeping a dry season’s dust and debris from blocking the first storm.
