We see them about all the time here in Illinois, but when it gets bitter cold like -0 and below, you don't see them. Where are they going to stay warm?

They can hunker down in deep grasses. The snow and grass act as insulation keeping them warm.
What's cooler (pun intended) than this is to look at tree squirrels, who have nests high in trees open to the blowing wind. Even they stay warm while being that exposed. The nests help trap body heat while breaking the wind.
Nature has some remarkable methods to keep animals warm.

They're deep in the woods, where it is surrounded by trees, so not much wind passes through. Put food out for them, and you will surely see them again in the winter! That's what we do! lol

They hide on the deep on the woods so the trees can warmed them.
