What would you do? Need advice please

Last week we had way above average temps (in the high 60's and 70's).
The remnants of Nicole came through and we got about 2" rain.
I held off dropping my final fertilizer (32-0-4) due to the torrential rain.
The temps have now bottomed out to the 40's since and this is the future forecast.
Tonight snow/mix then turning to rain.
My question is...
is it too late to drop the fertilizer at this point due to temps and just wait until spring?
or can I still do it with the weather going into winter mode now. :confused:
Since I've been doing fall fertilizer for almost 10 years I have never had this issue.

If it’s straight urea, proceed as normal. Air temperature isn’t as important as soil temperature.
