Well, it doesn't matter much what the external conditions are like while the instrument is in its case. Unpacking it outside isn't ideal, and I would try to talk whoever is in charge into letting me keep the clarinet in its closed case until I got inside the building. But the important thing is that it's warm when you start to play it. You shouldn't get into serious trouble with it if you make sure to warm it under your arm or inside a jacket before you blow warm air into it to play. The main danger of cracking comes from the sudden expansion of the wood that can result from blowing warm breath into a cold wood clarinet.
