I think that's mainly in winter, when the sun is low in the south. Here in WA, by the time we're near the winter solstice (Dec. 21), the sun only gets 19º above the southern horizon at noon, and the sun is rising in the SE and setting in the SW. At the summer solstice, it's 65.8º, and the sun is rising in the NE and setting in the NW. So, only around March and September is the sun close to rising in the true E and setting in the true W.

I have to remember this, because everytime I move, the mountains are in a different place!

Plus, you need to figure which direction the sun is going. If you're "lost in space", it's not obvious.
