Depends on your FPS i think. A season takes longer time with 40 fps than with 100 fps for instance.

At 100fps, one DF season is 16 minutes and 48 seconds long, so a year (4 seasons) is 67 minutes and 12 seconds.

If you want the raw numbers, one day is 1200 frames, 1 month is 28 days, 1 season is 3 months, and 1 year is 4 seasons.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
