It seems like the northern part of Delaware, near Wilmington, tends to be northern but everything else has a southern tinge to me.

Apparently OP can't be bothered with simple things like searching.

It's a northern state. Debate over, now close the thread.

No need for a snide remark. It was already pointed out to me and has been noted.

Take a look at the Mason Dixon line. I live in southern NJ and some feel we are in the south.

But you are not from Delaware. The is certainly a reason we down here in Sussex County are known as Southern Delaware.

But, I had planned to enter a corn hole contest on Saturday, and then watch the 3 wheelers mud-race on the Johnson farm. Saturday night we planned to see the Amish Rednecks, playing at the Moose Club. Now, I don't know what to do with the 2 lbs. of scrapple I was going to fry up for Easter Sunday breakfast. Next Tuesday, I planned to teach my neighbor how to skin a possum on a tree stump.
????????
You mean, after 74 years, I've been living a southern life in a northern state? That's a bummer.

North. Anyone who says south needs an IQ test. Personally I consider anything below DC's Virginia suburbs to be south. Virginia DC suburbs and up is north.
