Do the climates a plane flies in and out of make a difference too, or is this such a minor factor compared to the act of pressurization that it doesn't matter?

Do the climates a plane flies in and out of make a difference too, or is this such a minor factor compared to the act of pressurization that it doesn't matter? I remember flying out of Chicago once when I was a kid and having to wait for us to be coated in some special fluid because it was so cold that day that the takeoff was going to be especially stressful on the aircraft otherwise.
