I’m sure I asked this before, but how cold sensitive are onions and lettuce? I put some onions in and tomorrow night the forecast low is supposed to be 32, although I don’t trust it. It’s not unusual for it to get lower.
I Plan on covering the lettuce for the night, but do the onions need it?

Hope I’m not too late!
Are the onion greens UP? I’d cover them if you’re out there covering things, anyway. ;)
Everything I’m reading just talks about an early frost in the FALL, so I’m not sure what to do about spring-planted onions that are still just greens. Covering them overnight certainly won’t hurt.
What’s your Zone? 4? 3? You might have them in the ground too soon if a freeze is still an issue.
If they were mine, I’d cover them somehow. A blanket or towels should help. The point is to keep the cold overnight AIR off of them.
