If this storm had taken a more favorable track it could have been like the famous early December 2003 two day storm :-( that dumped 20" on Central Long Island and over a foot in the city.

Is it unusual to have rain in Chicago and snow in NYC from the same storm?

I think this was JFK's coldest November since 1989 also?  As cold as it's been, it still didn't match the departure of 2015's warmth!

Wow, I'm surprised that November 1989 and November 1995 aren't on this list.

November 1995 was on the Central Park cold November list according to Uncle.

Besides 2002-03, none of the other winters following your list were very snowy.
