It definitly does look like a Crab Spider, what with the way the legs are positioned. Not exactly sure about thier range though. The 'antenna' you saw are actually specialzed appendages called Pedipalps. The spider uses these to help manipulate prey, and the males use them as mating organs.

Looks like a huntsman to me. Check out my pics posted a few days ago. The body & legs look very similar. I'm in WI. by the way, so I guess some species of them are found this far north.
