So let me get this straight, if I prune my Japanese Maples, Cotinus coggygria, etc., at this time I will not have to worry about cold damage? I live outside of Pittsburgh, so although the weather is rather balmy now, soon the bottom will fall out.

The tree is dormant now, that why it's a good time to prune.
If it's so small does it really need to be pruned?

Is the shape ok, are there any crossing or rubbing branches?
