everything on the east coast below old bridge nj is south east, if you arent texas and dont border and ocean or fall into the south east, you are midwest. INCLUDING PA
Otherwise you are north east or west coast

The Pacific Northwest's southern border is San Francisco (the capital too). Northern Border is Vancouver, BC. Eastern border is the Cascade mountain range and western border is Pacific Ocean.

I disagree. Florida (outside of the panhandle, perhaps) isn't generally considered the south east either by others in the south eastern area or by those in Florida. Even those who consider themselves "southerners" and those in Florida tend to draw a distinction between the two. Florida below the panhandle area is one of those weird entities unto itself.

That's only because we're so fucking far south that it's impossible to go anywhere except to other places in Florida.
Lived here for 4 years, and I feel pretty much halfway surrounded by southerners. Only difference is the other half are transplants / mexicans.

Giving an entire region to one state? No way.
I usually call where I live South East, but I'm still conflicted. We're totally different than SC, GA, Tenn, etc.. To me, they're just South. I'm also confused about the regions within my own state. I'm not Northern Virginia, yet I'm further north than Northern Virginia is.

Kentucky was a border state in the Civil War, not actually seceding from the Union, but not exactly rallying to its cause either, and not abolishing slavery either. So there's always been this tension between north and south here.
I'd split it up this way:
East Kentucky: I'm not sure I'd say this is "the South". It's a whole other region, with West Virginia, western Virginia, western TN, western PA, and SW Ohio -- Appalachia. It's a whole different vibe than the deep South. It's hard to explain unless you've been both places, but here's where the crazy, scary hayseeds are, not the sort of plain old crackers you find in the deep South.
Going West, there's a sort of triangle that forms with Lexington/Central Kentucky, Louisville, and the Northern Kentucky suburbs of Cincinnati as its points. This part of the state is more urbanized than the rest, not as hayseed-filled (but, believe me, they're here), and much cooler, if for no other reason than there are actually bars here. But this part of the state has pretty much been pulled into the Midwest. We have more in common with a city like Indianapolis or Columbus than one like Nashville or Atlanta.
And the far Western part of the state is the only truly Southern part of the state. It is where the Deep South begins. As a happy by-product of this, Owensboro is a really great place for BBQ, up there, in its own way, with Memphis and Kansas City. Good fucking stuff.
So there you go.

As you know, Winchester is The Valley...traditional "Northern Virginia" is the so called "Northern Neck" where most of the blue bloods and big time plantation families are from (Washingtons, Carters, Lees, etc). Its also changed a lot with the expansion of the DC Suburbs into a really high level urban area.
You live in the Valley, and its always been more traditionally "northern" than "southern" (due to all the Germans that came into the area from Pennsylvania...its pretty much southern Pennsylvania for all intents and purposes). Where my sister used to live in Lynchburg is Southwestern Virginia, aka the place where you can find a food place and/or a church on every single corner. Its a lot like Maryland in that "northern" Maryland (Route 4 in PG and anything above it) and "southern" Maryland (Charles, Calvert counties and anything south and east of the Bay) are two ENTIRELY different areas culturally
how random.
