I don't think it matters.

If you factor in the time it takes to get the results back, then analyze and figure what amendments you need, THEN order them and get them to your door....It could be a mad dash to get those in before you put plants out, plus it's probably better to let it sit for awhile. Also, as big moon said, it may not matter. Your pH may be different when it's warmer but other than that I'd get that soil test going NOW!...haha.

You could always Google it or ask YOUR soil sampling establishment as well. eg

As long as its not frozen to prevent a proper depth of the sample your good to go.
