The sun sets in the west. So your shadow will point towards east.

Of course it is a very simplified explanation. If you need more detail use a compass.

Does shadows fall to the east in the winter?

Shadows fall away from the Sun. In the morning, the Sun is in the east, and the shadow points west. Similarly, in the afternoon, the shadow points east. This has nothing to do with summer or winter. In the winter, the Sun is further south (assuming you live in the northern hemisphere), and the shadow will go further north. If you live in the southern hemisphere, the directions are reversed.
