Gets colder in east Tennessee and western North Carolina sometimes than Kentucky, more snow too.
Nashville and middle Tennessee can have night time lows below 0 also, probably not as often as Ky, but youd be surprised how cold those places get....north Georgia and Alabama too.
There is no doubt that Lexington is all southern. In every sense of the term. Louisville is pretty much half southern half midwestern. As an Ohio River town, it's gonna have Midwest influences. Southern accents are much rarer here, often heard from the Kentuckians from elsewhere who have moved here. Even the architecture of many neighborhoods in Louisville makes it feel more Midwestern than Southern. Lexington, OTOH, is all southern. No argument there.
TBH, I found southern Indiana to have more of a "southern" feel than Louisville.
When I first moved here, in the midst of conversation, a native told me "welcome to the Midwest!" Anywhere else in Kentucky, that would have been "welcome to the South"...except Northern Kentucky suburbs of Cincy. That's some weird place up there that I don't think I'll EVER understand!
As someone from a Midwestern city I can say positively that both are Southern.
