Hurricane Sandy was loosing tropical characteristics as it approached shore and was completely post tropical by the time of its landfall in New Jersey, so it technically wasn't a hurricane any more.
By that time Sandy was a very large storm system and was merging with an extratropical low. The two systems, both rotating counterclockwise, pulled cold air down from Canada on their western sides, making it cold enough for snow in some of the more mountainous areas.
