The garage faces the street, and when we come out of the garage, we turn to the right and cross the front of the garage. We will be picking up light from the garage door opener as the door closes, and if we take stuff out of the car and take a minute or so to do that, it probably does. Once we clear the front of the garage, the motion detector spot on the front of the house (not CFL) usually kicks on and we have a well lit path.
I would say that there is no doubt that the colder it is, the longer it takes to get to full brightness.
