They are not talking of an approaching system they are talking of a
prevailing zone of cool Low pressure which sits of the coast of BC giving
the coast cool wet precipitation all year around. It is a maritime climate.
It varies and is influenced by the El Nino.

Think. A High pressure zone  generally sits between the Rockies and the
Manitoba border. This is produces a zone of dry hot summers and dry cold
winters. It is a mid continent climate. It is also in the rain shadow of the
Rockies which makes drier air.

Several forms of soils, often they operate at the same time.

Mechanical creation. Is mechanical - eg. the process of erosion. Mechanical
soils are created from rains, glaciers, and wind. The process of
sedimentation is a form of soil deposition. such as found on river deltas,
river valleys, tidal zones and swamps.  Mechanical soils can be created by
actual mechanical friction and chemical as it rains. Rain water is a very
weak carbolic acid.

Organic creation of soils. Decaying fecal and plant material. Animals poop
and plants shed leaves or stalks into the soil. When a tree dies it rots or
is returned to the soil by fire, fungal, insects or bacterial action. Swamps
are important to this process. - humans contribute to this organic soil
creation by the shedding of their skins creating dust in houses which the
homeworker dusts out the door.

Igneous creation of soils. The eruption of Mt. St Helen's provides an
example of volcanic dust making soil.

Stellar creation. Materials arrive on this planet daily from outer space.
