I remember my days back in central NY when we might be lucky to get a game in before May. Late winter snows, melting snow/rain making fields unplayable. Then we'd have wall to wall double headers to try to get in enough games before play-offs. There were a few years when you'd begin play in late March and have few postponements and cancellations, but they were few and far between. Here we might begin at the end of January and have play-offs into late April, early May. Much better.
