So why is it logical to say "on November 1 to March 30 the time is this and from April 1 to Oct 30 it's this"? Why not November 15th? What constitutes "winter"?

The logical thing is to have one time all year round so there is no confusion whatsoever.
If we can remember to set our clocks back and forward for daylight savings, we can remember a change in playground zone times. What would be even less confusing is to keep it 1 hour after sunset.
