Actually, wind chill has no effect on the speed water freezes. That's dependent on temperature alone.
Wind chill affects humans and animals only.
Wind chill cools all objects or materials until the temperature of the object lowers to the ambient temperature. Once the object reaches the ambient temperature, it can't go any lower regardless of how hard the wind blows. If a human goes out in cold weather, the wind chill will cool them until they reach the ambient temp. Of course, they would be dead by then. Wind does cool the water in the trough at a faster rate, but again, can only cool it down to the ambient temp.
What you folks are missing is the effect of evaporative cooling.
