If you define the north as Scotland, yeah. But if you define the north as Northern England, they are the ones who buckled the polls the most -- Newcastle is the lone Remain outlier, and at a far smaller margin than expected.
I'd go on a limb here and consider this to be the start of the dissolution of the Union. Scotland will not forgive this, and if this is really shaping up to be a Black Friday (Asian markets are taking a heavy beating as I write), Sinn Fein will pull Northern Ireland towards reunification within five years, at most.
