Correct. Gets to -1c (30f) maybe every other year and we'll maybe see snow under 1" about as often. Mostly it just rains. The island gets the most rain of anywhere in Canada, probably more than anywhere in North America.
"Henderson Lake on Canada's south-central Vancouver Island is the rainiest spot in North America with an average precipitation of 6,903 mm (271.8 in). In 1997 it received a record 9,307 mm (366.4 in) of rainfall, the wettest spot on the continent that year and an all-time record for Canada."

I'm kinda surprised. I figured being up there in Canada and north of most of us that you'd be subject to winter conditions too, lol.

@dafyre I translated it into historical units for you
The Native Americans on the island have something like 30 different words to describe precipitation.

Ugh gross, no thanks. We've got our annual flower count coming up! Last year we broke a few records but 17 billion still wasn't a high score...
