There is a method of avalanche risk assessment where dangerous snowpack characteristics are referred to as lemons. The more lemons you have, the more dangerous the snowpack.

The guy who proposed the method called them lemons and the name stuck. Things have to be catchy and memorable to work because not many people go out skiing with a book to refer to so it's as good a name as any!
