Who told you birds or squirrels survive such brutal winters? They are dead.
New ones will emerge from the eggs and grow quickly.
Yeah, those squirrel eggs are buried deep, to keep them from freezing. Probably 2,600 feet deep.

On a separate note, when it gets to -40 degrees you won't have to specify Fahrenheit or Celsius.
Because they're in your house walls
They probably are hanging somewhere warmer than -28 C, living off food they stored for such an occasion.
I can't speak for you, but the reason I don't see birds and squirrels when it's -28C is that I'm not hanging around outside myself when it's -28C.
Can't birds just fly to where it's warmer?
The birds go and hide in the hedges or find somewhere warmer. The squirrels probably go underground and start raiding their nut caches. Think I once read the average squirrel stores and remembers the location of 10,000 nuts for the winter. I could have dreamt that though.

They "remember" as many as they forget. That's why there are new oak trees every year
Wildlife hunker down when it gets cold, conserve energy is the name of that game. They eat very little and stay in place.

Ask the penguins
Only the strong survive. Science and nature proves this. Well unless, you need their votes.

Huh? If none survive the winter where do the eggs come from?
Generally when its very cold it costs the animals more energy to hunt prey than the energy they would receive from actually catch it. Better for them to hole up and not eat for some time.
