Stalingrad had its winter, and the Russians were able to resupply Stalingrad across a frozen lake.

You may be thinking siege of Leningrad (or now St. Petersburg).

Stalingrad battle was in winter as well, but much further south, on Volga (now called Volgograd). In that battle, Russians had all kinds of possibilities of resupply, but it was the Germans that were kind of encircled, and they were short of supplies and munitions.

These were long, long running battles, by today's standards. I doubt that Saddam will run out of supplies for military (munitions). It is more likely that he will run out of armaments (tanks, artilery) to fire the munitions from (as we destroy them), rather than running out of munitions.
