The timeline, based on Wildbow's comment and my past self's notes:
 
Year 1: Spring — Arc 1; Summer — Arc 2; Autumn — Arc 3; Winter — Arc 4.
Year 2: Spring — Arc 5; Summer — Arc 6.
Year 3: Spring — Arc 7; Summer — [skip]; Autumn — Arc 8; Winter — Arcs 9, 10.
Year 4: Spring — Arc 11; Summer — Arcs 12, 13, 14; Autumn — [skip]; Winter — Arcs 15, 16, 17.
Year 5: Spring — Arcs 18, 19, 20; Summer — Ep. 1?; Autumn — Ep. 1?; Winter — Ep. 2.
Year 6: Spring — [skip]; Summer — Ep. 3; Autumn — Ep. 4; Winter — [Twig 2].
 
As you see, Wildbow's comment covers only up to Arc 11. The rest are guesses and estimates.
 
Arcs 12, 13, 14 follow immediately after one another, and 14.x mentions that the Lambs' chase after Sy was during the summer, so assume summer for them. Also, Lillian receives her grades for the following autumn during that chapter — Arc 15 follows it, so it's set in winter.
 
Arc 16 mentions snow a lot, has the phrase "as winter progressed", so I'm assuming winter as well. Arc 17 follows immediately after it, so winter too. Arcs 18, 19 and 20 follow immediately or nearly-immediately after one another, and Arc 18 has the phrase "spring air", so I'm assuming spring for them.
 
First epilogue takes place several months later ("for months, Red had traveled"), assume summer or autumn. Second epilogue mentions snow and "getting through the winter", assume winter1. Third epilogue has the phrase "there was supposed to be a boat this spring", assume summer. Fourth epilogue directly states that it was fall ("it was fall")2, and I love it for its directness.
 
Starts in 1921, I think. It couldn't be much sooner: not-Ferres' letter in 17.x mentions a discussion with Lillian in the summer of 1923. The chapter is set, as per above, four years after the story's start, so it couldn't have started sooner than 1919, and it seems unreasonable to assume that the letter referred to the current or the preceding year; may as well assume what "about" says.
 
Lambs' ages, according to my past self:
 
Sylvester – 11 (3.09, Sy’s words); Gordon – 12 (1.01, Sy’s narration); Helen – 13* (11.x); Jamie – 11-12 (estimated); Lillian – 13 (1.01, Sy’s narration); Mary – 12* (1.08, Gordon’s words). Duncan is same age as Lillian, I think, so 13.
 
Ashton, as he was introduced in arc 7, was 14* years old, I think.
 
1. Or maybe late autumn, I'm not sure how biopunk 1921 North America's weather works.
 
2. Stupid unimaginative confusing American and Canadian English by the way, calling a temperate season the same way one calls the action of a sudden descent. Why didn't the Crown purge this... abomination?
