Other Late Season Tropical Cyclones since 1851, Sandy still unprecedented but not the latest

I pondered on whether to do some research on if Hurricane Sandy's late-season strike on the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US was completely unprecedented in being so late in the hurricane season since I could not recall one before that made landfall so late in the season. As for Sandy's power, Sandy set a new standard, hands down, never seen anything like it and how destructive it's been for such a wide vast of real estate. No doubt, the WMO will retire the use of the name Sandy.

November 2nd, 1861, Hurricane #8 made landfall in far Eastern NC and continued NNE and made a second landfall, on the HURDAT reanalysis on the extreme Eastern Tip of Long Island as a tropical storm on the 3rd, with a 3rd landfall in extreme southeast Connecticut/SW Rhode Island.

On October 30th, 1866 Tropical Storm #7 made landfall on the SE side of New Jersey actually as a post-tropical storm and continued just east of due north to near NYC.

On October 18th, 1878 Tropical Cyclone #11 developed, and would become Hurricane #11, making many landfalls during its journey north and north-northeast. First making landfall in Western Cuba as a CAT 2 hurricane it lost a little strength but continued to make a 2nd landfall in the extreme SE portion of Florida as a CAT 1 hurricane just before October 22nd. continuing north-northeast rapidly, #11 would make a 3rd landfall at a CAT 2 again near Morehead City, NC. #11 was analyzed to have held some strength hooking left (moving due north) into DC, and then turning NE becoming extratropical on the 24th in Eastern NY and hooking right out to sea as a strong extratropical low pressure system

A strong late-season hurricane, number 9, developed/analyzed on the 17th of November, 1888. Hurricane #9 became a CAT 2 hurricane and movd very slowly paralleling the NC coastline before transitioning into a powerful extratropical low pressure system on the 26th east of the NC/VA border. it would continue as a powerful extratropical low pressure system making landfall in Nova Scotia on November 28th.

Moderate Tropical Storm #11 would make a skirt-by of the Outer Banks of North Carolina and continuing north making a left-hook into Maryland on the October 23rd, 1893.

Hurricane #9 was analyzed to have begun on October 26th, 1899 and moved generally north making landfall first in Central Cuba at a CAT 1 hurricane on the 29th. from there, it continued north-northeastward through the Western Bahamas and then making a soft left hook back towards the Carolina Coast and strengthening. #9 would make landfall on October 30th, 1899 around Myrtle Beach, SC, and the latest South Carolina landfalling hurricane since 1851. #9 would continue northward and north-northeastward transitioning into a strong extratropical low pressure system moving through the Northeast US.

Lastly, a very late season tropical storm would develop in the NW Caribbean on November 28th, 1925. This system drifted eastward before being pulled NW, N and then northeast making landfall in the Extreme Western Tip of Cuba on the 30th and a 2nd landfall in SW Florida on Dec 1st, 1925. From there, the storm became post-tropical (extratropical) in Florida but would become a powerful extratropical cyclone making landfall on the Outer Banks of North Carolina and according to best track the winds were 80 kts. Lowest barometric pressure recorded was 980 mb. If anyone has any information regarding whether this storm produced any significant winter weather with it would be appreciated.

I omitted two other tropical cyclones that transitioned to post or extratropical cyclones that struck late in the season both for Newfoundland because the cyclones did not directly impact the US.

Storm 4 1925 produced gales up and down the East Coast, but I'm not aware of any frozen precip. It did have significant impacts on shipping interests.
