Virginia is considered the south historically.

Yes they see cold air earlier, yes their climate is way different in early winter.

But if we are nitpicking, then you could say NC is completely different too.. because it really is vs the rest of us

100 years ago Virginia was the south. Not anymore. Geographically it's not the south. It's more Mid-Atlantic. I also don't consider Kentucky to be in the south. And those 2 states are roughly at the same latitude.
 
Virginia is still a southern state except for the area near Washington, D.C. in Northern Virginia. Northern Virginia is why this state has turned blue in recent elections and the attitudes are different up there. Northern Virginia is where the Mid Atlantic begins for me at least.
 
is the mason dixon line not good enough for yall? :)

my take (lived in richmond almost 4 years, lived in nc my entire life before that with one year in wv)

richmond is the south. you can't tell me with a straight face that the former capital of the confederacy is not the south. rural southeastern viriginia is culturally an extension of eastern north carolina. central (non richmond) virginia has its own brand of southern culture. richmond averages 10ish inches a year and is climatologically on par with winston salem. i haven't noticed many differences from raleigh outside of getting more low stakes events like yesterday. the majority of what's good for raleigh is what's good for richmond so i'll continue in main threads.

my line is fredericksburg. that's the DMZ. southern in appearance but you can take the metro to dc.

i will grant carveouts- hampton roads north is distinctively tidewater in a way i don't see in NC, and mountain cities (charlottesville, blacksburg) are their own thing.

The Confederacy was like 150 years ago. Lots has changed since then. Richmond is not a southern city at all. Richmond is only southern if you're comparing it to a northern city like Chicago or Boston.

Richmond is as much the south as you are a troll. There you have it, settled, Richmond is southern
