I’m going to guess it has to do with how quickly the temperature change occurs, or other environmental factors. It seems to be a somewhat rare occurrence, even in places where it gets very cold

In Alberta a chinook can make the temp go from -20 to 20 in a matter of hours, the same backwards.

  Huh TIL
  
  The maximum daily temperature anomaly associated with the wind ranges from +13°C in the northwest to +25°C in the southeast. The temperature rise at the onset of the event is abrupt and steep; an increase of 27°C in 2 minutes has been observed.

    They also create clippers on their way to states, hence the term Alberta Clipper.

    I feel so uneducated on weather lol. I had no idea what a Chinook or Clipper were before now.

    Does wind chill make water freeze faster?

    Yes. It pulls the surface heat out faster. But, the lakes have been frozen over for weeks now, (18" on the lake I live next to-- we are driving pickup trucks on it to go ice fishing).

    I think so. Wind chill is a roundabout way of comparing the capacity for heat extraction of moving air vs stagnant air.

    With enough flamethrowers, or an atom bomb, I’m sure the same could be attained.
