I was going to share my story but you already did. I have a west facing porch on a lake in NY...sunsets are great, but it can get brutal. However, we have found ways to deal with it, and it has its pluses. Which is what I want to share with the OP...you'll find ways to enjoy the pluses, and to mitigate the minuses. It will be grand.
Enjoy!
