I'd love to see any documents that prove this!

Wind could speed the process up, but remember, "wind chill effect" has no

Close, but not completely true. Wind chill is not confined to living or
animate objects. It is related to evaporative cooling. Animals
radiate heat and moisture, as the moisture evaporates, temperature is
reduced. The wind hastens this process resulting in lower than ambient
temperatures.

If any object has moisture on its surface, it will be impacted by wind
chill.
