Temperature and tuning

Over the festive season, I've been carolling with our local community band. They're mainly brass - clarinets are very much in the minority. So I tune to them (by ear). Venues have ranged from hot, packed, stuffy halls to sub-zero streets. Some interesting observations:

- When it was hot, I had to push in all the way

- When it was cold (and I mean, steam coming out the bottom end), I was pulling out so far you could see the cork, like over 2 mm.

Question: why? And does anyone else have similar observations to report?
