41. The best time to scour the beaches is the winter months, because northeasters tend to blow in lots of shells. 42. Davis and a colleague at Virginia, Dr . Robert Dolan, have devised a scale for rating the severity of northeasters . 43. The geologists began studying the issue in detail more than 35 years ago, after the notorious Ash Wednesday northeaster of 1962. 44. They have also found that from the mid-1940s through the mid-1960s, there were about 33 northeasters a year. 45. The Oct . 18-21 northeaster , for instance, was one in which the storm detached itself from the jet stream. 46. But scientists said Friday that the violent force of this week's northeaster made it unlikely that sufficient natural replenishment would occur. 47. Saturday's Northeaster produced winds of 60 miles an hour near Boston and 25 inches of snow northwest of New York City. 48. Quintaglie said there are an estimated 900, 000 inhabitants in the districts affected by flooding in northeaster , eastern and southeastern Kenya. 49. The northeaster that pounded New York this month, as well as last January's blizzard, were variations on the main theme. 50. The Globe stylebook agrees that our storms are northeasters , uncontracted ( though you can wear a sou'wester against the rain ).
