Shouldn't daylight saving time start by the end of spring, beginning of summer or something? It's still winter there, right?

DST starts late October, lasts till February in here. It ended about three weeks ago. It really is effective, during that time of the year more specifically. It can work during winter as well, but I suppose it wouldn't be as effective. But what do I know?

I kind of like it, I love my days lasting longer, not getting dark 'till almost eight. =)
