Well, season 1 went from Emma's birthday (Oct. 23, 2011) to about late February (Kathryn disappeared shortly after Valentine's day and reappeared about a week later, due to Rumple and Regina's conversation shortly after the Mo French assault) then the remaining episodes seem to happen in the span of a week or so. So the Curse ends at the earliest, February 28th, and at the latest, March 1st or second.

We know that Emma and Snow were in the EF for about a week due to the mention of that time in one of the episodes. So now we're at about March 9th. Cora goes about her plans quickly enough, and since we know Snow was born in Winter and that Winter ends on March 20th, I'll put her birthday (and subsequently, The Queen Is Dead) at around March 18th. Then after Cora dies, let's give it about another week to deal with Greg and Tamara's dumb, useless asses. Now we're at about March 25th and season 3.

Neverland took place over about 6-7 days, that was confirmed by Regina in "Dark Hollow", with 5 days having passed at that point in time. So let's say that "Going Home" is April 1st (April Fools Day!)

The caption reads that one year passes, so I take that to mean a year to the day. That means 3B is entirely in April as it also seems to be a week, two at the very most. Let's go with two, and now Ingrid and Elsa are freezing everything on April 15th. Ingrid goes very quickly about her plans, so let's say by April 23rd, she's sacrificed herself.

Since technically 4B started with 4.11, it's a separate part lol I think one extra day passed in 4.11, so it's now April 24th, 2013 in Storybrooke (I mean, not exactly, but I can't be too far off!). Two days pass in this episode at the most, so by April 25th, everything's said and done.

Jump exactly 6 weeks into the future, and the day we end up at is... June 6, 2013. So now we're in mid-2013.

It's going to be very awkward to film 4B IMO. I was being fairly modest with my calculations, but we could be anywhere from May to August at this point. So they're filiming 4B right now in the heart of Winter, and they have to make it seem like it's summer.
