These conclusions I have drawn come from the link Dante recently shared in the TUA reread discussion.

(I looked up both calendars on amazon, and they are going for an inordinate amount of money.)
Can these dates be taken pretty seriously?
So we have a beginning of the timeline for the series, and that is March 31, or about the beginning of spring.
I'm not sure how Isadora's whereabouts could be unknown, but not Duncan's, but perhaps this suggests their home was burned down just eight days after the Baudelaire's home.
The tenth cow being Jacques disguised as a cow makes me wonder if he was the one writing to "genius," although this doesn't seem to fit his persona. But he also wrote a false article about Fernald, so maybe he wasn't always good.
If Jacques arrive in Paltryville on June 26 to investigate the Baudelaires, that would mean Quigley had reached Dr. Montgomery's house before this point, and the first four books have taken place in less than three months.
Jacques goes missing around August 9. Maybe he went to the Village F.D. and is already dead at this point (this would mean books 5-7 happen in about a month and a half), OR maybe Count Olaf and Esme have found him and are waiting to bring him to the Village F.D.
Summer is dead, and Jacques probably is too. If he died later in September, this would mean books 5-7 happen over the course of closer to three months.
This would mean the first seven books take about 6 months to happen, and I am pretty sure we can figure out how many days the next six books take based on reading.
Lemony and Kit are investigating Jacques' disappearance together.
It seems people waiting a very long time to report Gustav missing, and then he is found. But if Monty didn't report Gustav missing before Stephano killed Monty, then maybe no one else would have realized he was missing.
