If Florida is a Southern state, why do so many of the residents have Northern Accents?
I live in North Carolina, a lot of people who move here from Florida have Northern style accents rather than Southern.

Northern Florida (the panhandle) and parts of central Florida could be considered the South, but once you get closer to South Florida (especially the more densely populated areas) you see much more snowbirds (with their Northern accents). There are a few places in southern Florida that could be considered the south, but not many.
