I am across the sound from you. The ocean has a moderating influence on our weather and the effect of the ocean lessens as you head farther inland. In this case, the warmer ocean waters will keep us warm enough to keep us mainly rain. However, areas farther inland (west of Highway 17) will be cooler which will allow for more impacts from snow, sleet, and freezing rain. For us to get snow, the low needs to move well offshore to allow colder air to be pulled in from areas to our northwest. So in order for us to get a decent storm, areas farther west will usually receive little to no precip which the majority of this board would not like.
