Wind chill describes rate of heat loss of objects.
Doesn't matter if they are living or dead. Ask the
pilots in alaska, if wind chill is important when
they land a plane in cold weather. Wind chill has
a big effect on how long they can be there, before
the oil is too cold to allow the plane to restart.

In the case of water pipes, it has a big effect on
how fast they freeze. Which is the question of this
thread.


You have it exactly.

Wind chill affects the RATE of heat loss, not the temperature an object
will cool down to.

Well, if you're adding heat to an object, it does affect the
equilibrium temperature. That's the whole point of cooling fans.
