I live in Northern VA and work in Southern MD. I wouldn't typify either as being southern, because they're so close to DC... but I would say there are pockets in both places with a southern flair.
I grew up in Florida, and I think you could easily say the same for the Sunshine State. There are parts that are decidely northern, as the majority of its residents (South Florida) are northeastern transplants, while the north part of the state and bits of Central Florida are very southern... including an overabundance of sweet tea, opportunities for offroading (mudding) and "Howdy y'all"s...
It's all about perspective.
