... glad you've figured it out, as you say, change in season sneaks up on one, today it's overcast, rainy and lower air pressure here, and my summer reeds aren't playing responsively enough ...
... i find lots of water usually collects on the ledges of mid joint and bell joint when i play any time of year, it's a major mop-up job with the joints upside down on the swob, but i haven't (touch wood) had ohsusan's problem -- don't envy her swobbing chore in the reed well -- if there is a complete layer of cork or composition at the very end of the tube (easy to lose a small chunk or two there) shouldn't the seal be more water resistant than you're experiencing?
