Onion snow

A little more than a week ago I was planting onions and peas.  Today it was snowing. ARGGGG
I want to garden so bad, all my tomato starts are going gangbusters as well as peppers and basil and some zinnia seeds.  I was getting ready to plant potatoes, but between the rain and the snow, that may not happen for another week.  I am jonzing for a good garden day!
So around here, when it snows after most people have planted their onions they call it an onion snow.  In different parts of the country it is called different things. I have heard of blackberry snow too.
Do you have a local term for the crazy snow that comes when it should be all over?
I am ready to play in dirt, how about you??
