It worked out for the Germans (kinda) in WW1. Don’t forget Poland-Lithuania.
Also, everyone else attacked from the west. The mongols attacked from the East. Therefore, the winter didn’t know what to do.

The cold wasn't really Napoleon's problem. Typhus (which mostly hit in the *summer* of 1812) did most of the work, and Russia's defence in depth (aided by their complete willingness to destroy their own country in the process) mostly settled things before November.

Close enough to being OC, in my opinion.
poland
specifically Polish-Lithuania
The mongols attacked from the east when Russia was much smaller (it only got it's eastern territories at late 1600's)
Although Moscow was controled by Poles from 1610 to 1612.
That one time when they starved to death in it or was it different occupation of Moscow?
Mongols : I am winter!!!
russia invades Ukraine the winter I am switching sides. Everyone who tried to go invade Russia in the winter and failed “yes thats how it feels”

What about the second Mongol invasion of Hungary?
Napoleon managed to take Moscow and invaded in the summer not winter.
Cold being a weakness, ha, Mongolia laughs in your face… Can’t invade India because their bows can’t handle the hot, humid weather.
Good meme, but these topics gotta stop
