Answer 1

Maybe they caught your IP Address

Answer 2

You are logged into Yahoo and your profile has your city/state.  They just customize the advertising from that info.

Answer 3

LOL .. cause they're mind readers.

No. When you signed up for your email, you entered your location right? Well that's how they know.
