 Russian Winter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the European regions of Russia (west to Ural mountains) the winter is more European-like, with average temperature rarely falling lower than -15 C; however, sometimes it is much colder: for example, the winter 2005/2006 showed temperature around -25°..-30°C in Moscow in January, during the whole month.
This particular winter happened to be the most brutal winter of the 18th century, so severe that the salt water port of Venice froze.
During WWII the only cold winter was in 1941-1942, and the Wehrmacht had no supplies, such as winter uniforms due to the many delays in the German army's movements.

 General Winter
Some people have an idea that the winter of 1941/42 was on the Russian side, that all the troubles of Wehrmacht resulted from the cold weather, not from the Red Army.
Snow was not falling on the German side only, avoiding Russian trenches, and Soviet troops had to deal with the same difficulties during "mud periods", Red Army's trucks and tanks didn't get special treatment from the elements.
After all, the Nazis weren’t forced to invade Russia with those bad Russian Winters, it was their choice.
