Since it’s the shortest day of the year you would think it would be the middle of the col season, as the days get longer after.

Our season naming convention largely has to do with agriculture, and northern hemisphere temperate agriculture too. So it’s not necessarily accurate to winter conditions everywhere.
However in Europe, by the equinox virtually all harvests are complete and no more will take place. Nothing new grows and everything hibernates. The coldest weather also follows as the limited amount of sunlight drops the average temperature until the days are long enough to heat up. So the coldest, darkest, and least fruitful months are labeled as winter. When things usually begin to sprout and grow again is called spring.
