The german advance towards Moscow failed before winter went bloody cold (during the 2nd half of November 1941). The missing winter equipment had an impact during the soviet counteroffensive, but the Germans weren't stopped a6t Moscow because of missing winter eqipment, but because of losses in men, material and the breakdown of logistics.

Cheers,
