The forecaster may use wind chill for shock value. However, this does not diminish the fact that a warmer object will cool faster in the presence of convection.
I'm not sure, but I believe you are needlessly waisting the skin on the ends of your fingers. I don't think any amount of proof will convince them.

I post not to convince those that will not see.

I post to show others the fallacy of their argument.

I don't want to offend anyone here. I respect everyone for having thier own opinions. And I am not saying this due to the fact that I WILL call on someone here to help me out in the future.

The Wind Chill Factor is a value used to help calculate what an ambiant air temperature would 'feel like' on your skin during the winter months.

With regard to objects such as an engine if that engine was cooling down. Yes, it will cool down quicker if there is a breeze or a wind blowing across it but the actual temperature will not reach a lower temperature than that of the ambient air temperature such as the Wind Chill Temperature.. If the engine was plugged into a block heater, it will take longer for the engine block to reach its temperature due to the fact that you have cooler air moving across the engine, resulting in heat loss being carried away as the block heater is working. The result will take more time to accomplish the same amount of work.
Hope this helps,
Mike
