I agree with Mr. Palanker ... might be a leak opening up during dry winter conditions. I can't imagine the wood's acoustical characteristics or dimensional specifications changing drastically enough to cause the blowing resistance to increase, but something might be shifting or changing just enough to cause a small leak.
As far as professional clarinets, there is always Buffet Greenline and the hard rubber clarinets made by Tom Ridenour. They should be immune from most seasonal changes ...
Take special care with you clarinets in the winter. I really watched the temperature and used orange peels to humidify my instruments. No problems, in the last 40 years. Don't leave your clarinets in their case on the floor (the floor is often much colder than the room temperature) ... leave your clarinet cases with instruments in a drawer in a wooden chest in a comfortable room.
