in the Timeline War Cry is listed as 6 ASF, March
In Issue one, Harry says that it's been 4 months since Yoshimo broke her leg. That sets War Cry in February 6 ASF.

Dead Beat is at the very end of October (29th - 31st). Precisely 4 months would put us into the end of February/beginning of March, depending on the day of the break and whether or not it's a leap year... so it's hard to get precision on exactly when Jim is placing this.

True, it could have been the first week of March. Though that is still verging on month 5.

Can't argue there - time is tricky. I haven't read it yet, but I get the feeling that "February and/or March" may end up being the appropriate end-point for it. Hopefully, we'll have a better answer by the end of War Cry.
That said, I've found that quotes from dialogue make things tenuous to pin down - especially with the graphic novels. Take Ghoul Goblin for example. Jim refers to the events of Fool Moon as occurring "only weeks" prior in Issue #1, while in Issue #2, it's "several months" (this is also indicated in the synopsis text at the beginning of the issues/HC). I'm inclined to go with the one in the synopsis, as people's recollection of time is fallible (doubly so when you're dealing with a fictional character's recollection of time), whereas narrative text should theoretically be more reliable.
sagan:
Book 16 - Peace Talks will be set about three months after Skin Game, according to Jim at Dragoncon 2014, it will be Summer which makes sense since SG was set in Late February.
Priscellie:
Technically late May is still spring. I shall have to notify him of this, when betadom begins. :D
