 * It's one month between Red-Handed and Child Of The Moon (Granny's arm hurts during full moon - very fast-paced events around Kathryn's disappearance - first full moon since the curse broke).


 * Next thing we know, it's Snow's birthday "in the middle of the coldest winter". Now, the second half of March doesn't qualify as the middle of winter, does it?

If we assume that Valentine's Day was either a continuity error or… err… the Curse made it up, we still have Snow's birthday in the middle of winter, make it to mid-February / very early March by the end of S3A, then we are back to Storybrooke one year later and we can have all the blizzards we want during S3B. Winter traditionally ends in March, but in 2012 winter extended into early May (at least in New England, which is where the show takes place), so middle of the coldest winter is still fine. Especially if in FTL, she lives closer to the north, which would make the winter last a bit longer.
