Default Gutter advice

I have been debating on installing a gutter & downspout on the small roof over the garage.

In the winter the roof never sees any sun. When the snow melts it falls on the drive & freezes creating a slipping hazard. I dont like using ice melt chemicals.

What do you think? Would you spend the time & money to install a gutter & downspout?
