Is that minus 20 including wind chill or is that what's predicted to before wind chill factored in?

It's going to be -30+ wind chill near Boston.

Short answer is -20 is predicted TEMPERATURE. Forget Windchill....

Or look at chart:

Mt Washington will have -70 to -85 windchill ...

Vapor barrier adds extra warmth to hands :thumbup:
