Just one piece of info: wind chill factors do not affect car temps. WCF is another term for forced convection. If a human is 98F, the added wind cools them faster. If a car is 1F, no amount of wind will get the car colder than the actual air temp
It may seem colder near water, but that's usually the WCF. The ocean breezes actually heat the air with the water. The coldest air is usually where there is no open water.

Here is near Newport, RI. I'm near the coast, so the wind off the water can get brutal in the winter. Used to leave my 300d at the train station all week and it would always fire right up when I got back on Friday night, usually around midnight. With 1 digit temperatures and chill factors well below zero that is good. Even some of the much newer gassers of all makes had more problems than I did.
