Wind chill does not affect your car's antifreeze protection. It will have an impact on how quickly your home's exposed water pipes freeze, but has little impact on whether they would freeze or not. The importance of the wind chill index is as an indicator of how to dress properly for winter weather.
use the windchill chart.
A windchill chart tells you how cold the air feels on your skin due to the combined effect of wind and temperature. It helps you understand the risk of frostbite and hypothermia at different wind speeds and temperatures.
2000 = -12 degrees, -28 with windchill 2001 = -10 degrees, -24 with windchill 2002 = -10 degrees, -26 with windchill 2003 = -7 degrees, -18 with windchill 2004 = -11 degrees, -21 with windchill 2005 = -14 degrees, -31 with windchill 2006 = -10 degrees, -25 with windchill 2007 = -9 degrees, -18 with windchill 2008 = -10 degrees, -26 with windchill 2009 = -7 degrees, -16 with windchill I can't tell you 2010 because it isn't over yet; *2000 - 2010 is actually 11 years... *
its not gonna kill you it just stinks
When I was in Boston on the New Year's eve,last day of 1996,the windchill was -40 in boston
Windchill in Antarctica is the same phenomenon as windchill anywhere on earth: the ambient temperature plus the wind speed, determine the windchill temperature. Antarctica is the windiest continent on earth, it is also the coldest continent on earth. With ambient temperatures colder than minus 100 degrees F, and wind speeds up to almost 200 MPH, depending on where you are on the continent, the windchill temperature is cold, very cold or very, very cold. Windchill in Antarctica can be lethal.
AnswerAll parts of a car are affected by windchill. If your battery is old or low on starting power, I'd cover it with a blanket when the windchill goes down to minus 25C. You could take your car to any garage that does mechanical repairs and ask them to check how cold your antifreeze is good for. A good way to start the winter checking that your tires are at the right air pressure, your rad has sufficent antifreeze and your battery is fully charged. Answer #2 I got this: "A. The only effect windchill has on inanimate objects, such as car radiators and water pipes, is to shorten the amount of time for the object to cool. The inanimate object will not cool below the actual air temperature. For example, if the temperature outside is -5 degrees Fahrenheit and the windchill temperature is -31 degrees Fahrenheit, then your car's radiator will not drop lower than -5 degrees Fahrenheit."

The opposite of windchill is heat index, which measures how hot it feels due to both temperature and humidity. While windchill reflects how cold the combination of wind and temperature feels on the skin, the heat index quantifies the discomfort caused by heat and humidity.
color has no effect on the performance of antifreeze... it all works the same and there will be no damage at all
no, antifreeze is engine coolant a/c uses different refrigerent in a sealed unit, works like a refrigerator
