In the populated areas impacted by a nor'easter, yes. Like all large storm systems in the northern hemisphere, a nor'easter has winds that rotate counterclockwise around a center of low pressure. In a nor'easter this center is located just off the North American East Coast, with the land mostly in the northwestern portion of the storm when winds come out of the northeast.
