Late December 2.05 Simon Said Nebraska

Nebraska a day or two at most - Sam and Dean are still at the Roadhouse
2007 Early January 2.06 No Exit Nebraska
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
spans 4-5 days
Early January 2.07 The Usual Suspects Baltimore, Maryland spans 4 days. Ballard says that it's been "about a year" since Jess died, and that Sam is still 23, so it's before May.
At the beginning of Crossroad Blues, Sam is reading about Dean in the Federal Database. Likely, only a few days have passed.

Unclear how much time has passed.

spans 4-5 days. Sam gets his cast off after this episode.
February 22 2.16 Roadkill Highway 41, Nevada Stated by Molly, which, yeah, totally ***** up the timeline. *g* Which is why I'm putting it here. Spans one night. (thank you to Luminosity and harrigan for the collective brainstorm.)
Late February 2.12 Nightshifter Milwaukee, Wisconsin spans 3-4 days
Perhaps less than a week, almost certainly less than two, passes between these episodes, since Sam still has Dean on "lockdown."

2.20 What Is and What Should Never Be Joliet, Illinois

May 2 Sam's 24th birthday
End of June
(Late April/Early May)
2.21 All Hell Breaks Loose, Part 1 Cold Oak, South Dakota
Nebraska
spans 2 nights and 1 day. Sam tells Ava she disappeared "five months ago."

Sam also says that all the psy-kids are 23 years old, which throws things off by as much as two months if true. It's a toss-up: either Ava disappeared three months ago, not five, or Sam is generalizing about the collective age of the psy-kids for the simplicity of explaining why they're all in Cold Oak. The second explanation makes more sense to me than the first, but YMMV. If you choose to go the other way, the alternate date possibilities are in blue to the left. NOTE: The concrete date shown on the motel receipt in 3.15, "Time Is On My Side," gives support for the June date. The concrete date given in "Ghostfacers" is February 29th, which contradicts the receipt date and supports the April/May 2 date. At this point I'd say it's impossible to completely reconcile the timeline of S2-S3, so follow your bliss.

End of June
(Early May)
2.22 All Hell Breaks Loose, Part 2 South Dakota,
southern Wyoming
spans 2 nights and 1 day. Contiguous with previous episode.
