Wind could speed the process up, but remember, "wind chill effect" has no
effect on inanimate objects. If its 33 degrees out, and there is a 50 mph
wind against the side of your engine, the engine temp would never go below
33 degrees.


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.
