Gutters here handle snowmelt and ice as well as leaves. The University of Minnesota Extension explains that ice dams form when heat leaking into the attic melts roof snow that refreezes at the eaves, and meltwater then backs up behind the ice. Ask for hangers rated for snow and ice, and downspouts that drain away from the foundation.
