When to clean gutters in White House Station
The first fall frost comes around October 18 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around April 26 (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.
