  What it means

  If the stork arrives on Saint Joseph’s Day (March 19), it still brings the last remnants of winter snow on its wings — meaning late winter cold can still follow.

  Vocabulary

  • bocian — stork
  • przylecieć — to fly in, to arrive (by flying)
  • skrzydło — wing
  • resztki — remnants, leftovers
  • śnieg — snow

  Grammar note

  'Na skrzydłach' is locative plural. 'Przynosi' is third person singular present of 'przynosić' (to bring).

  Cultural context

  The stork is a beloved symbol of spring in Poland. Its arrival was eagerly awaited. Saint Joseph's Day (March 19) marks an early spring milestone.
