The term “onion snow” describes a specific late-season weather event that signals the shift from winter to spring. This phenomenon is less of an official meteorological classification and more of a cultural marker used by agricultural communities to track seasonal transitions. It represents one of the final instances of wintry precipitation before the ground is ready for cultivation, linking the weather event to early spring farming activities.
