I am from Illinois. I used to work outdoors for hours in all kinds of cold. Your feet stay warm because you keep moving and likely have shoes which fit loosely, but a second par of socks restricts blood flow and makes them colder. I have tried. (Unless you wear shoes 4 sizes too big with xtra large socks over regular ones.) You are correct about the t shirt, long sleeve shirt of some kind and I wore a hoodie. (I added a stocking cap if it was really cold or windy.) Long johns under my jeans was always plenty warm.
Anyway, getting frozen tissue injuries, when it is 20 degrees out is rare as it's not really cold enough to freeze living flesh.
I agree, the wind chill is more to shock or scare viewers so they pay more attention to the news, which translates to ratings. For those who understand what it means, it can be helpful in saving time on math.
When it's really cold now, I put on jeans and a long sleeve shirt because I now live in Florida.
