"Your friends have been trying to visit you for several weeks, but the lake ice has held unusually long this year. Alas.”
Butcher, Jim (2014-05-27). Skin Game: A Novel of the Dresden Files (p. 9). Penguin Group US. Kindle Edition.
This year, they brought in an Ice Breaker to break the ice. I could totally see the ice being a problem until late March or early April if Mab is taking a hand in it.

It specifically says "February" elsewhere in the book, alas.
And Maggie was over a hundred when her boys were born.

Thanks for the info.
Let's see if I understand the timeline between Changes and Skin Games.
GS happend 6 months after Changes. Then Cold Days happend 3 months after that.
So if Cold Days happened at the end of October, going backwords, Ghost Story happened somewhere at the end of July and Changes near the end of February all in the same year???
Going forward from Cold Days. Harry hasn't seen Molly in more than a year and its February in Chicago (although someone is confused about what weather is like in Chicago area in February) ....so Skin Games is about a year and 4 months later.
Also, if Magaret Gwendolyn LeFae was about 100 when she had her kids....isn't that a bit of a stretch.... I understood wizards live along time but they still age and get older...at least in looks.....is this a conundrum or is it that in wizard biology...turning 100 is like mortals turning 30.

A few explanations.
Margaret spend a lot of time in the nevernever so her body did not go through all those years, she was physically younger than chronologically.
Different wizards might, depending on their talent and use of magic, experience ageing differently. We have only a limited data set.
Margaret spend a lot of time with Lea, she might have been in the process of becoming something else.....

Not quite. Changes and Cold Days take place about a year apart, with Ghost Story at the approximate midway point. See the first posts on this thread:
11 ASF, October: Changes
And 45 minutes later: Aftermath, a novelette from Murphy's POV, published exclusively in Side Jobs.
12 ASF, May 9th: Ghost Story
12 ASF, September: Bombshells, the Molly-POV story from Dangerous Women.
12 ASF, October 31: Cold Days
14 ASF, late February: Skin Game
Jim recently commented on the nature of wizard aging, hinting that female wizards can "cheat" the usual limitations on fertility. He didn't comment further. Curious!
