More to the point, who cares? The storm was still pretty bad: this isn't a case of a "bust" forecast. Long Island got hit, as well as much of New England.
So the line on the map of where the heaviest snow would be was a bit off: the only reason this is "news" at all is because that line happened to affect New York City, and there are a lot of journalists who live there whose view of the world matches that New Yorker cover[1]. If the line had been anywhere else we wouldn't have heard about it at all.
