I would like to make a small and mostly insignificant correction: this should more accurately be called "a rain of toads."
Not that it matters, but toads just seem more ominous somehow.

I may very well be making too much of real info, given how Jim likes to play fast and loose with things, but I'm re-reading Dead Beat (for the umpteenth time) and I just noticed that there are very subtle references indicating that all three days of the case must be occurring on weekdays.
Day 1(Oct 29): Harry gets Mavra's letter in the mail. Mail service not available on Sundays.
Day 2 (Oct 30): Harry comments while running around town looking for Necromantic hotspots that "I felt a brief flash of gratitude that things usually went to hell during the work week. If this had been a Sunday with the Bears at home, I'd have had to park and then backpack in from Outer Mongolia." (DB 125)
Day 3 (Oct 31): While running around town during the blackout Harry comments "Traffic wasn't as bad as it could have been. It looked like the commuters hadn't poured into town in the usual volume." (DB 253)
So that means (if I'm not reading way too much into it) that DB could not have occurred in 2004 (Oct 31 is a Sunday), 2005 (Oct 31 is a Monday), or 2006 (Oct 31 is a Tuesday). In 2003 the 31st was a Friday, in 2007 it fell on Wednesday, so those would be the best options for the 'real life' year of ASF 5 given the other info we've got.
Not quite sure how much to make of this, as I said.

Excellent leg work, LogicMouse! I'm pretty sure Jim's mental timeline isn't that precise, though. :D
