What about when it hits the windshield, under those same conditions?
Wind will cause an object to lose heat faster ... but will not cool it
below the ambient temperature.
The evaporation of a liquid is a state change whereby energy is used and
heat is given off.
Wind chill is a measurement of rapid cooling of living tissue.

Wind Chill. I do not think it refers to living tissue. I think the
definition is how much heat transfer would occur in still air vs. Moving
air. some low speed of air. -15 degrees with a wind chill of -30, says the
same heat loss would occur if the temp was -30 and no wind movement.
Nothing to do with evaporation but with the tendency of the air to heat up
near the warmer object, slowing down heat transfer.
