Why is Ky. listed as being in the North East zone?

[Geography 101]

I have lived in Kentucky my entire life and have been told we live in the Southeastern part of the United States. From Teachers to Meteorologist here always tell us that we are in the Southeast. So funny to hear otherwise ?

Beats me, and I always thought Michigan was in the Midwest

Heck, we are in the SEC for sports

Being from MA I really don’t know what states make up anything but the Northeast, best I can do is guess.

As long as you post in the section where your state is listed, seems like it won’t matter 

[Geography 101]

Being told you are from the south your entire life then one day finding out you aren't is kinda being told you are adopted after 50 years  ? Bwahahahaha!

Same reason Illinois is in the North East. Oh wait shouldn't that be Midwest?

Western MD is Mississippi...

When the regional forums were built, the states were grouped according to Wikipedia's regional definitions.  Blame them if you're upset about it.

 

Are you volunteering to go through 20+ years of posts, one-by-one, and manually moving them to a different forum? Because that is what it would take.

Might want to read the bolded section again.

 

That was over 20 years ago.
