I NEVER put my eggs in a basket with backend snows, hasnt worked out very often since Xmas 02', the mother of backlash snows for me

 

Your location is pretty awful for backend snows.  They are far more commonplace to the N&W of NYC just based on storm structur climo/geography, etc.

 

Furthermore, there is a distinction here.  I'm not sure if the definitions are cut and dry, but i think of one category as describing what happens when the surface low passes to your west (or overhead), you go to rain then dryslot, and then snow comes back in on the back side.  I agree, that phenomenon is rare, especially for your locale.

 

But, another case is when a storm passes to your south and east but the winds don't back to the north until it passes your longitude.  This can mean sleet or rain on the front end over to heavy snow on the back side of the low.  That is actually fairly commonplace, IMO.
