also you have to think that even that with a "graze" track that clips ENE, portions of the S shore to eventually Cape Cod would see lots of OEH/if not ocean-effect banding on that rounding NE to N to NNW flow
we've been watching the backedge of the backedge, if not the actual back edge approaching for a while, with a very keen eye....it's been lurking. good storm though
