Cold environments are nearly always worse as they usualy have lower
humidity.  Over here in the UK I find static shocks are never a problem in
the summer, but can get very bad in the winter.

Our production environments are't allowed to fall below 65% RH in an effort
to prevent static damage, and of course wrist straps and conductive
overcoats and shoes have to be worn at all times.
