The GFS tends to move all storm systems farther off the East Coast than other models. It's kind of like the Canadian getting the development of a TC right. If it forecasts everything to develop then eventually it will be right. In this case, the low formed 50-100 miles farther offshore than the Euro was forecasting, thus the bust for NYC. Not a bust for areas east of there, though.
