Well, sure the weather was an aid, but it was the Russians who purposely set everything inside Moscow ablaze, therefore making it useless.

That didn't help but the burning was insignificant, what mattered more was the fact that Alexander wouldn't negotiate after losing moscow

It was a bold decision to burn it, but upon entering Moscow, French troops were surrounded in a town with no food, water or shelter.
