  1. I want to know, Ginger, why on the map of the United States, New York’s temperature is right on top of N.J.? Everyday I watch GMA and everyday, when you show the map, N. J. is never shown. You put N.Y. right on top of N.J., Why? The state of N.Y. is huge, put the temps, etc., on top of N.Y. as it should be. This distresses me immensely, I guess it’s because I’m from N.J. and would like to see N.J’s temp, etc. on top of N.J. Can you help me with this matter??
