Of particular relevance to the study of this issue is the circumstance that it is poorly illuminated in special literature. The purpose of this article is to prove that the geographical, climatic and weather conditions of the region under consideration at the time of the event significantly influenced the course of military operations in the Northern Ladoga area. Large losses, in manpower and technology, the Red Army incurred, including, due to difficult natural and weather conditions. As a conclusion, the thesis is based on not taking into account the whole set of external factors in the development of combat plans, which eventually led the Red Army to catastrophic consequences.
