I know the pipes won't get below the actual
temp, but are they more likely to freeze,
with wind?


Has everything to do with the individual situation. Any wrapping? Any
heat that can transfer from living space? Is pipe in insulated wall?
Is there dead air space around pipe, or is it vulnerable to the wind?

Lots and lots and lots and lots of variables, according to many things,
right down to what pipe is made of.
