From what I understand wind chill is the estimated temperature due to heat loss from forced convection. The wind diffuses away heat at a faster rate than static air.
Snakes will experience the same effects as people do, except they don't produce their own heat and they may have different coefficients of heat transfer.
The bottom line is snakes will lose heat faster in windy conditions.
I'm an engineering student. I have equations.
