No. As long as the temperature remains above freezing, water will not turn to freeze no matter what the windchill factor may be. But if the windchill factor is near or below 32 degrees and you are outside and exposed to the wind, you will certainly think that it would be cold enough to freeze water.

No. Windchill is subjective and not a real temperature. If the temperature is above 0°C, it matters not what the wind is doing - things will not freeze.

No. Windchill factor is an indication of how fast heat is being removed. It means that heat is being removed as if the temperature were that mentioned in the wind chill. The temperature can never get below the stated actual temperature.

No. Windchill has no effect on the freezing point of water.

Wind chill is defined as the theoretical equivalent temperature, if the wind were not blowing, at which unclothed human skin will lose heat at the same rate as it does when the wind is blowing.
So it is a completely made up number to get people to put on a coat.
It's kind of like the heat index, it allows people to whine about the weather without having anything to do with reality.

Wind chill factor ONLY affects living organisms, like you and me. Water is totally unaffected by how cold the wind chill might be. If its 35 degrees and the wind chill is 30 degrees, water won't freeze.
