Just looked it up, Chicago had nine inches for the month of February in 2020 and eight inches in 2019..  I was there for Christmas visiting my son and his family in 2017 and there was only a couple of inches on the ground, in fact it melted and the ground was bare, it actually rained if I remember.  Now that isn't to say they cannot get some fearsome blizzards, they can, and it can be colder than a witch's tit as my husband used to say who lived there for years..  There is also ice on the lake, but that too varies.  My son lives in a Chicago suburb like Michael, when I got there for Christmas there was perhaps three or four inches of snow on the ground, but it was melted and they ground was bare by the time I left just before New Years.

January and February are the coldest months of the year. Snow that lands during them rarely melts up here. Note that that 8 and 9 inches is what fell during that month with January usually having more that won't be melting. Christmas is warmer by comparison a lot of the time. Jim  doesn't live by Lake Michigan. He messed that up. It happens. But make no mistake. There's always snow in the yard in Chicago in February. (Let alone the yard of the Winter Lady...)

That depends on the winter though, some are harsher than others.. Also Chicago isn't constantly covered in a blanket of snow, and Lake Michigan can have less ice, even in February.

I grew up not to far north of there. We have Snow until Mid-March pretty much every year. Especially years where Mab keeps the Lake Ice, "Abnormally late this year" by having it melt a month early...

Snow comes later a lot. Often not until late December or early January. But there's always 3 months of it minimum. Michael's yard should have had a foot of snow in it.

Cold Days was Halloween. After that he stayed half a year on Demonreach. So, in Skin Game it would have been around May. In the first chapter of peace talks he told Thomas, that he was a full time dad for one month now. So, I would say, PT happens in June or July, depending on when he took Maggie to his new home.
In Christmas Eve the talk was about the events of "last summer" and "all the deaths" so there are several months between the peace talks and Christmas Eve. I don't think BG would be more than half a year after PT, but more like immediately afterwards.

Skin Game was in February. Which I found a little unbelievable given Lake Michigan Ice and the lack of snow everywhere. It was also a year and change since Cold Days.

What's really funny is ever since JB gave that answer I had presumed Mirror Harry elected to do the "right" thing by White Council standards and didn't go in to rescue Susan, never bonded with Michael or Thomas, fostered animosity against the White Council for "causing" the loss of Susan and all these other things, and therefore eventually donned a black hat.

I like to think he chose to leave the party with Susan and left Michael or that he took Susan instead of Michael. Both leave things in interesting spots that are wildly different. But the big part there becomes no war, Susan sticks around, Harry settles down, and he becomes reluctant to get involved. He's starting to do that now with Maggie and I think it will serve as an eye opener to him about how inaction lets chaos thrive.

Mab could be Eb's Ma...  Maeve & Sarissa's elder (half-)brother.




Just sayin'.

I'd guess younger. Mab was the lady before Hastings. I don't imagine Lady's get replaced all that often and Maeve had like 150 year backlog from what Molly told Harry.

I went with Green Lantern. Power ring = force ring. Both have great will against fear. Snarkiness.

And you know, using his willpower and creativity as his primary assets in a fight while reluctantly reporting to a council of hidebound demigods.
More Guy Gardner than Hal Jordan, but still a lantern over Batman.

Mmm yes, Harry has done much  to cement a small time 'barony' into a legit lordship.

Not that much. Marcone seemed pretty established in Storm Front. Definitly not, on top for less than three years established.

I, respectfully, disagree. I think some form of self-punishment is a part of Harry's mentality.  He is very willing to take many forms of pain and suffering in the hopes that the good he tries to accomplish will keep him from doing the bad. The beginning of SK, while carrying the guilt over Susan's half-turned status, is an excellent example of this level of self-torment.

No. The two are nothing alike. That was depression and guilt over a specific event. That's not the same as physically torturing himself daily for the last 15ish years of his life over subconcious self loathing. When people lose a loved one they fall apart for a while. But people do not self flagellate to that degree as  unacknowledged punishment. Harry has cold showers because water heaters being fragile is funny. That's pretty much it.
