inquiry to timeline questions

 hey everyone! I was just wondering if anyone has really sat down and tried to put the entire series on a real life time line to figure out when holidays or other major events happened in the series. I'm just trying to figure out where approximately valentine's day would have been in season 3 and I'm thinking over those episodes and it seems to me the entire season took place during winter and/or fall because I think they were always wearing jackets...

does anyone know where I can see a visual calendar or time line of all the episodes and where they fell? 


TIMELINES POSTED in comments as well as interesting conversation about birthdays and debates on timelines

This Timeline covers Season 1 only. After that the timeline
goes to hell, with Seasons 3 & 4 especially wonky. There is
no making sense of when things are supposed to happen. For
instance, it's pretty clear that Vic dies in late January
or February of 2004 (we see his stone, which gives his dates,
2001-2004 -- although the ID for Babylon he gives to Justin in
S1 says he was born in 2002), because when Deb wakes up Em
with her Christmas preparations, Em says it's February. So
that seems clear. However, a few eps later Emmett meets Drew,
who is playing for the Ironmen during the regular season --
which runs in the fall, not the winter. So, what month IS it?
No clue.

And then there are Justin's two birthdays, Michael's two
birthdays, and Ted's THREE birthdays -- all different
months/dates.

In other words, you need to make your own sense of it all.

Ted has three birthdays? I remember he turned 39 at the end of the last season and Emmett mentioned that Ted's birthday is in august in 4.14. Which one did I miss?

Duh, excuse me -- Vic's dates are 1951 to 2004.
