I was thinking more of the birds and frogs. I don't remember
seeing
snow
in April recently, so I'd consider it unusual.


...snip...
There's still snow lying over the north pennines.
I would hope so, it's still mid winter.

But Tim - we've just been told that apple trees should have been
pruned
in winter and that it is now too late ;-)

I'm certainly confused - your reply was to me, but I was agreeing
with
you that we're still in winter...

Whose reply? I thought it was Tim who said

I would hope so, it's still mid winter.

But anyway - my position still is that I disagree with the original
poster who said it was too late to prune apple trees because they
should
have been done in winter - I reckon that it's still winter, and that
it's not too late to prune.

Absolutely!

Hi John,
Apple trees are usually pruned in winter. If you prune now, you will be
pruning out flowering buds (this year's fruit).

Only of you prune the flowering buds!
