This hits one of my pet peeves as well. Had a roommate in grad school (we were both MechEng. so lots of thermo and heat transfer type classes) always insisted on parking his car nose away from the wind.

Pay attention, on cloud covered nights it generally stays warmer overnight (hard to eliminate weather patterns in this observation, but you get the idea.)
Been a long time since I thought about heat transfer.
