Good idea, Phil!
Well, it does seem as though this season started and finished abruptly, with a concentrated period of activity. However, we might just see another storm as the season draws it's last breath. Let us look at some seasons that have experienced some later storms, by which I mean storms on or after this date.
-1953, Tropical Storm #13 (23 - 26 Nov.) and Tropical Storm #14 (7 - 9 Dec.)
-1954, Tropical Storm #10 (16 - 21 Nov.)
-1956, Hurricane Greta (30 Oct. - 7 Nov.)
-1961, Hurricane Jenny (1 - 9 Nov.) and Tropical Storm Inga (5 - 8 Nov.)
-1964, Tropical Storm #12 (5 - 10 Nov.)
-1966, Hurricane Lois (4 - 14 Nov.)
-1969, Hurricane #17 (30 Oct. - 7 Nov.) and Hurricane Martha (21 - 25 Nov.)
-1971, Tropical Storm Laura (12 - 22 Nov.)
-1972 Subtropical Storm Delta (1 - 7 Nov.)
-1975, Subtropical Storm #2 (9 - 13 Dec.)
-1980, Hurricane Jeanne (7 - 16 Nov.) and Hurricane Karl (25 - 28 Nov.)
-1981, Hurricane Katrina (3 - 7 Nov.) and Subtropical Storm #3 (12 - 17 Nov.)
-1984, Hurricane Klaus (5 - 13 Nov.) and Hurricane Lili (12 - 24 Dec.)
-1985, Hurricane Kate (15 - 23 Nov.)
-1986, Hurricane Frances (18 - 21 Nov.)
-1988, Tropical Storm Keith (17 - 26 Nov.)
-1989, Tropical Storm Karen (28 Nov. - 4 Dec.)
-1994, Hurricane Florence ( 2 - 8 Nov.) and Hurricane Gordon (8 - 21 Nov.)
-1996, Hurricane Marco (18 - 26 Nov.)
-1998, Hurricane Nicole (24 Nov. - 1 Dec.)
-1999, Hurricane Lenny (13 - 21 Nov.)
-2001, Hurricane Michelle (29 Oct. - 6 Nov.) , Hurricane Noel (5 - 6 Nov.) and Hurricane Olga (24 Nov. - 4 Dec.)
-2003, Tropical Storm Odette (4 - 7 Dec.) and Tropical Storm Peter (9 - 11 Dec.)
So, since 1950, 23 seasons have seen later storms. While of course the atmospheric conditions are never the same, this data does give an historical perspective. It is noticeable that this kind of weather event was common in the 1980's, with 7 seasons in that decade exeriencing late storms.
Perhaps another storm is not that unlikely...
