Wind chill has no effect on freezing pipes.
Wind chill doesn't. Wind does.
"Chill" is an adjustment to temperature to compensate for what humans feel, including humidity and evaporation. Pipes are different, but wind on a pipe does remove heat faster than no wind. It definitely has an effect.
But, a few degrees below freezing isn't much to worry about. Just run water through the pipes before bed, and again first thing in the morning.
