What April feels like
The state asks hikers to stay off the higher High Peaks trails through the spring thaw, because walking them now tears them up for years. Snow keeps falling on the summits while the village turns to mud; almost nobody comes, and that's the correct instinct.
Winter is doing its thing: 7.8 in of snow in a typical April, with fresh snow on about 4 days. about 21 nights dip below freezing.
