how late is too late to prune/shape

Im almost embarassed to admit that almost all my shrub pruning jobs need to be done a second time yet this year. I said in another post, I lightened up on labor this year and continue to take on too much work. Not surprisingly, time got away from me and now I really need to touch up many of my locations' shrubs. Ive never had to do this so late in the year before and am concerned for the health of the plants. The dominant plants are Taxus, Boxwood, Spirea, and Barberries off the top of my head. Do I have something to be worried about or can I put this on the schedule soon and not think twice about the consequences? BTW, the next week is supposed to have lows in the 30s and highs aproaching the 50s. Thanks all!
