This this is the “wind chill” or “feels like” temperature. It looks more extreme so it makes for better headlines, and keeps viewers engaged longer yielding a higher click through rate and higher ad revenue.

Thanks. I have to drive at 6am Saturday and I’m scared to death after seeing so much about this situation. Bought a portable car battery charger but concerned my face is gonna fall off from windchill factors or something

You'll be just fine. Maybe start the car and let it warm up before you leave.

Agree. Gas up before the temp drops, put a blanket in your car just for your peace of mind. You'll be fine.
