>What the hell does it feel like outside when it’s -44 degrees?????

To me, I feel like I can't breathe, it becomes somewhat difficult to walk, and the world hates me. It's like you want to gasp for air and vomit at the same time.

>What is -44f suppose to be?

Hell.

>How does one survive it, what clothes can you wear?

You wear as many layers as you can and refuse to go outside as much as possible.

>Does the car even start

When it wants to.

I moved from northern Minnesota to Maine 5 years ago, the winters there are brutal, with frequent and consecutive below 0 temps such as these. It hurts to smile, talk and breathe. Sometimes you'll choke on the cold, you'll stop feeling your nose in a few minutes and snotcicles will form. If you have a beard you'll get condensation frost around you nose and mouth. You can toss boiling water in the air and it will Instantly turn to fog. I love Maine winters, but will always and forever hate this depth of cold. Stay warm friend.

Gentleman and a scholar right here. Thanks for the info haha - I’m going up to Montreal Canada and it’s definitely not -44 but it’s going to be pretty cold and when I saw this, I figured if you guys can do it, I could probably get some information from the more extreme location that can translate to a lesser extreme location.
