When to clean gutters in Star Valley
The first fall frost comes around October 24 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around April 29 (median dates, NOAA normals).

Gutter and downspout size for Star Valley rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In Star Valley the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 6.64 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 1). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 1,080 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 2,170, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.
