    Wind chill factor
    I'm curious about the effect, if any, of the wind chill factor. Suppose the outside temperature is 33-34 degrees and there is a brisk breeze blowing that causes the wind chill factor to be 27 degrees. Does that mean that a container of water would freeze if exposed to this wind chill temeperature? If the definition of the wind chill factor is what the temperature 'feels like' to people... does it 'feel like' the same to a dish of water that is exposed to it? Hmmmm?

    I believe the rapid movement of the air might make the water dissipate heat faster if it was originally warm, but the water would get no colder than the ambient air.

    The wind chill factor makes it "feel" colder because of the heat dissipated from the rapid evaporation of moisture from the skin
