GMA’s Ginger Zee forced to correct herself after fans points out on-air blunder in weather report
GOOD Morning America's Ginger Zee has corrected herself on social media after making a blunder during a weather report.
On Friday, the meteorologist reported live from Times Square on the bitter cold snap moving into the Midwest before heading to the Northeast.
During her weather report, Ginger explained that the some of the coldest conditions from the storm would be felt all throughout areas from Boston and upward.
"Portland, Oregon could break records there at 44 below "feels like" Ginger said of one of the areas that would be hit the hardest by the cold temperatures.
Except the TV star did not mean to say Portland, Oregon.
The GMA mainstay was actually talking about Portland, Maine, which was poised to have a dangerous wind chill that could cause frostbite in just 10 minutes.

Fans were quick to point this out on Twitter.
One viewer tweeted directly at Ginger, adding a freezing emoji: "You scared me this morning when you said -44 degrees in Portland Oregon!"
The 42-year-old was quick to correct herself: "Did I say that? If so obviously did not mean it lol."
Another wrote "I don’t think it was Portland Oregon with the windchill that could make it feel like 44 below... our low temp tonight is 36 and tomorrow night 43. Maybe it was Maine I bet…"

Ginger replied to that fan as well: "That is correct."
THE PRETENDERS
Meanwhile, Ginger has seemingly been blocked by some accounts on Twitter as fans are worried about her social media presence.
On Twitter, several fake accounts have allegedly been created to impersonate Ginger.
One of these was caught by a fan, who tagged Ginger's real Twitter page, which has the iconic blue check mark next to the handle.
They also attached a screenshot of the fake account, which had a picture of Ginger as the profile image and the background portrait as one of her children.
The fake account also copied Ginger's biography nearly word for word:
Ginger also replied back to the post about the fake page, however, she claimed that she was unable to see the phony account.
"I must be blocked from them as I can't find it..." Ginger wrote at the time.
According to Twitter's official blocking procedures, it may be more likely that the account was deleted, either by the user or by Twitter staff.
The U.S. Sun has contacted Twitter for more information as to why Ginger might not be able to see the fake account.
'HOT ENOUGH'
Previously, Ginger revealed a stylish new hairstyle recently, to the delight of her fans.
The TV personality debuted some bangs last week and posted her new do on her Instagram page.
"I'm standing here, loving your bangs... you look good," one follower wrote about Ginger's new look.
Despite the kind messages like "Love the bangs!" and "Your hair looks awesome," not everyone is impressed.
