On paper, places like DE, WV, D.C., Maryland, Virginia look like they should belong to the Mid-Atlantic.

oh, to me Deleware is MidAtlantic. and really Maryland too because i never
think of Baltimore as a Southern city. but geographically if Virginia isnt
south then Kentucky shouldnt be either. i'd hate to tell them they're not
southern /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

then why isnt Virginia? /smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />
or is it more of a "mentality" thing.
like people in Eastern Mass dont really consider people in Western Mass as being from Massachusetts /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />
or how the rest of New England doesnt consider Connecticut to be a true New England state /wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

everything south of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois is the South
/biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />
Everything below the Mason/Dixon Line…so not Delaware, but Maryland is iffy.
I call everything south of Joliet Illinois "The South"…
That IS funny especially in contrast with the foot of snow that currently blankets our Chicago landscape, but I suppose when you have little or no experience with driving in conditions that have produced even the most minuscule of snow accumulation, the exaggerated caution is understandable ….b

Not sure of the terrain in that area of Virginia, but I hear a lot of the same type complaints from "transplants" to our area of East Tennessee. One of the main reasons they cancel school HERE with very little snow is because of the many mountainous roads our school buses have to travel. Second is that the mountain temperatures are colder than the lower areas of our county. The superintendent will not jeopardize the kids, the parents or the bus drivers. It is purely a safety measure.
Our main roads get cleaned first, subdivisions and county roads last. Sithy can testify to this.
Oddly enough…the majority of these people complaining are from Michigan and Indiana, two of the flattest states I've had the pleasure of driving through. /blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />
And yes, Virginia is in the south.

New England people are a certain breed of person.
Connecticut, is more of a suburb of New York City.
They're not thought of as "New Englanders"

So, if we're going according to the Mason-Dixon Line then Washington DC could also be considered in the South.
I live in that bottom right corner of Pa, I don't consider myself in the south when I walk to the farm in Md, a few hundred feet away across the Mason Dixon line everyday. /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='<_<' /> Cornerstone marker one is there, the Pa side has the Penn coat of arms and a P for Pa and what is now De. De was part of Pa, and a land dispute which is why the survey was done, over a hundred years before the civil war. The Md side has the Calvert coat of arms, and a M for Md. The markers helped to establish which state was a safe place for slaves, during the civil war because the line was visibly marked by stones at one mile intervals for all to see. This latter became the influence for demarkation between the north and the south.
I researched the Mason Dixon Line for my township, and we netted and saved 10 miles of stones.
I don't think of Md, or De, as the south.
But, Virginia yes.
I refer to Virginia as the grit line, restaurants start serving grits around Virginia. /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' /> What I would call southern flavor starts in Virginia.
Then you also have what I call the deep south.
Delaware also had a one mile area of land known as the wedge. It's a half a mile west of me. Only since 1921, this area was offically claimed as part of De.
The wedge isn't noticable on most Pa, De, Md maps, as it is so small.

I call Kentucky the "One Tooth State." 
I'm just kidding about that, but I know I'm going to burn for that one all the same.
