Onions are grown from a bulb and tolerate sub sero temperatures very
well... even once sprouted the green part might be a gonner but the
bulb will continue to produce new green shoots, with the entire intent
to reproduce, by sending out side bulbs.

>Might lose the lettuce...

Lettuce being a cool weather crop an interval of frost won't hurt the
plant... may lose some outer more mature leaves but the plant will be
fine and continue to grow.
