Can I expect "winter" scenery in Iceland in April?

Can I expect "winter" scenery in Iceland in April? - Snow-Covered Mountains Under Aurora Borealis

I am willing to travel to Iceland, renting a car and making a trip across the country. What I expect seeing the most is viewing the "winter" scenery of Iceland: snow, glaciers, frozen waterfalls, ice caves, northern lights and maybe a little ski.

Will those still be present at mid-April across Iceland? Or only in certain areas?

Should I travel in other dates?

Will car accessibility be a big issue in that time? (due to road blocks).

Some have described April as "spring" in Iceland, though spring probably has a different meaning in Iceland, therefore I am not sure what to expect from the scenery.
