The short answer is that no it cannot, because it is far too warm in hurricanes for snow to fall
Hurricanes are fundamentally tropical, warm-core systems that obtain energy from latent heat release from water that has evaporated from warm ocean water. This is quite different than mid-latitude cyclones, which are what can turn into blizzards. It gets trickier once a hurricane moves into northern latitudes in the months of October and November though. There are some very complicated processes and transitions that take place, and what it basically comes down to is that you can get some wet snow well inland and up in elevation associated with a decaying hurricane if the upper atmospheric wave pattern is favorable as it interacts with this system. Chances are, though, that the hurricane will have weakened to a tropical storm at best by this time, and likely will technically be called an extratropical cyclone due to some of the transitions taking place.
