This is the look of the 12Z GFS out this way. I've seen worse

The big difference here is the surface winds versus the KNYC sounding I posted. Winds are more ENE on LI versus more due north in the CIty. That causes a lot of boundary layer warming as you can see as all of 950-1000mb is above freezing.

 

Hence the high thicknesses shown on models despite favorable 850s. It's all about wind direction and antecedent cold. Good chance Long Island is rain for much of this storm.

I don't disagree at all. Out here its always about antecedent airmass(which is not good) and wind direction, even in mid Jan. never mind Nov.
