Prevailing winds play a role here. I have my tarp opening like a tent flap tied at the aft end of the boat, and I frequently tried to have my stern pointed south or south east, as this is the least likely direction locally from which freezing rain/snow/blizzard will arrive. Also having the boat pointing into the prevailing winds makes chafe less of an issue.
