Good ol' Nor'wester

If we didn't see this again on our trip, we'd be happy. Lows come screaming into the west coat of the island, rain deluging (up to 450mm in a day) the coastal ranges. While the east side of the ranges often escape the rain, Nor'Wester winds pick up. In the similar fashion to our Chinook winds, the Nor'Wester winds form an arch of cloud in the sky similar to the Chinook arch. The worst we have seen is sustained 115kmh with gusts near 170kmh. Cast a small dry fly into that!
