That's not possible in a super cold climate. Viruses are living organisms, too cold and they die.
Besides, you can create a fire in a cold environment (if you're careful enough and have trees in the area),
Super cold climates tend not to have that kind of things in abundance. If you live in a super cold climate, low tech, and you can't import stuff from warmer climates then you live in igloos.
I'll take super hot climate, it has vegetation.
That said, if we aren't talking about places with extreme climates then cold over heat, I'm used to it.
Viruses, bacteria, fungi and many microorganisms have survived the vacuum of space and other less extreme but still bone chillingly cold conditions. There is algae clinging to the ISS which was flung up there by massive storms.
In the Canadian artic for example they recently burned bodies dating from the 1918 flu pandemic because the bodies still have viable virus counts from that plague nearly a century after the death of the host. Bodies do not decompose in permafrost. It's not just horrific diseases sleeping in the snow. A few years ago scientists managed to revive a rather large and primitive virus from the Siberian tundra which was 30,000 years old. Bacteria and yeast are even more impressive as they can lie dormant for millions of years and just start right up again after being in conditions that kills everything else. The most interesting has to be that 45 Million Year Old Yeast which was revived from fossilized amber. What did we do with said ancient variety of yeast? we made beer of course. If you get the chance try the offerings of Fossil Fuel Beers out of California they're quite interesting to say the least.
My best advice it to choose one based on what you are used to and your genetic heritage. I come from a cold climate. My ancestors came from an even colder climate. We've been in cold climates since the ice age when nearly everything was a cold climate. My body type is adapted to a cold climate. I have the survival skills to live in a very cold climate therefor I choose a cold climate. In a hot climate without tech I'd die. When deciding how to survive you have to look at yourself first. The reason there is such diversity in human appearance is because we adapted to a plethora of climates.
People can still have viruses and give them to each other but very few viruses can survive more than a few minutes in the Canadian Arctic which makes transmission of airborne viruses not an issue. You can still sneeze on people, and sexualy transmit them.
Or... Transmit them airborne in your warm cozy home.

You do have a point! I didn't take into account how cold it would be for the viruses, whoops :P
Sadly they don't die they go dormant.
