Thanks! The reference to "late winter" had me thinking of late February/
early March, but what you're saying here could situate the action in late
spring. Maybe the action spans a couple of months, then, or maybe it is
all a bit muddled. It would certainly not be the first instance of fuzzy 
chronology in Pynchon: In the first edition of V., the first word in the 
epilogue is "Winter," but later on the same page (456) the narrator 
(mistakenly) states that it is June (the error was corrected in the
Bantam edition).
