All last year after I put in the wider driveway, I had a problem with water from this gutter while the snow melted.
The snow would melt, come down the gutter, hit the piece of flagstone I had under it and then run down the driveway where it would end up freezing in a very nice sheet of ice.
In case you were wondering what the driveway looks like in general, it can be found here, where you can see how the water would just flow down, and create an ice skating rink on a hill, a combination of 2 things that probably makes it more like a luge than an ice rink.
