The onion snow came today on the first day of spring. Okay better explain this since most of my school teaching staff looked at me strangely.
"Onion snow" is a regional term used primarily in the state of Pennsylvania, referring colloquially to the final snowfall before the end of the spring season. Some sources indicate that the onion snow typically occurs after the traditional time for planting spring onions, while others state that onion snow is an indicator of when the appropriate time has arisen to plant onions. In either case, onion snow is defined as a light snow that melts quickly. This regional expression is said to originate from Pennsylvania Dutch culture and language.

Interesting....but I was fully expecting the explanation of "Onion Snow" to be more like "It's that snowfall that happens when it should NOT be snowing because it's Spring and time for warming up and it brings tears to your eyes."

@darkrider42: LOL! I like your definition of the onion snow much better than the one I learned as a kid.
Brutal headwinds for the last three miles of my run seemed to suck the energy right out of me but I got it done.

@clephant, @darkrider42, @jth11706, I ordered my new road bike today, I decided on a Fuji Absolute 2.0 LE. Should get it 7 to 10 days. And got it on sale too. Like the flat bars way better than the road bars, hurt my lower back to much.

@anaconda469 A friend has the flat bars and loves them. I have drop bars, but use the flat part more than the drop (mine has extra brake levers on the flat part).
I ran today, my longest run ever- 12 miles! (plus almost a mile of walking).
