Could I plant some onions in the fall and they would grow over the winter here in Michigan zone 5b? Would they grow, could I harvest them in the spring? We do get snow, and it does get to about 10 degrees or below so i'm thinking they wouldn't grow but if they were covered could they?

i'm asking cause i about some onion sets this spring but i didn't have the room to plant them and i dont want them to go to waist, right now they are sitting in the basement so they don't spoil
