So I'm in my first campaign and got Moscow...didn't get Leningrad. Now the backdoor is held by 3 guards div's and am looking for a way to crack this nut during the winter. Plan A was to bounce the river and that has failed miserably. Plan B is to capture the ports on the lake and starve them. Am I overlooking something? Realize that I need to push up on the river to the south also.

I would say yes. It's first blizzard so your CVs are supressed.
Assemble a strong force during February and attack across the Neva in March before the river thaws or go for the Ladoga ports.

Am not doing anything as of now during blizzard. So while the Neva is frozen the river handicap is reduced? Is there a benefit one way or the other? Want this wrapped up asap obviously.

Leningrad is being supplied over Lake Lagoda but in the coming Spring you can isolate Leningrad making crossing the Neva easier. See my AAR. It took me 7 turns to isolate Leningrad. Osinovets is the weak link.
