Nor'easter is refering to wind direction. When the storm track runs parallel with and offshore of the coast, the counter-clockwise cyclonic winds will start from the north east. The end of the storm will usually have north westerly to westerly winds. You can track wind direction and make your own forecasts as to the duration of the storm. There are times the storm center gets locked off Nantucket by upper level winds and the track doesn't advance. That happened in '78 and we got 36" of snow.
If the storm track runs parallel to the coast but inland, most of the winds along the coast will come from the warm sector and be southerly. That will most always means rain. Cape Cod is going to get mostly rain so the track will be cutting across it.
You could have learned all this by watching Boston TV (and other similar locations) for the current storm and the near miss last week. Cape Cod got bombed (12") and eastern MA only got a few inches.
So just watch your weather-man and you will learn something. If that person happens to be a weather-woman, just try to concentrate a little harder.
