This Texas city ranked among the least cozy cities for fall

DALLAS (KDAF) — Southern cities aren’t considered cozy enough for fall, according to a new seasonal study.

BetMGM Casino’s new study ranks 18 top autumnal cities for their cozy, sweater-weather feel and ‘pumpkin spice is in the air’ vibe. San Antonio ranked 14th, along with New Orleans in 11th, overtaken by northern cities for brighter foliage and cooler temperatures.

The study analyzed five variables associated with fall and coziness in each city:

• Venues : The number of farmers’ markets, pumpkin patches, cafes, coffee shops, and bookstores, offering plenty of fall-themed activities.
• Nature : The number of parks and lakes, perfect for early morning strolls and weekend walks.
• Fall Foliage : The vibrancy and intensity of fall foliage colors throughout the season.
• Rainfall : The amount of rain a city receives during fall — the more rain, the cozier the atmosphere.
• Temperature : How cool the temperatures are during the fall — the cooler it gets, the cozier it feels.

Portland, Maine took the top spot as the coziest city for fall, followed by Boston, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City, and Portland, Oregon to round out the top five.
