    Brake pads wear out faster in this weather, also take the cassette off the water would have got under there.

    Take the seatpost out and turn the frame upside down to let water drain out - you 'll be surprised how much can collect there.

    And then seal round the top of the tube and the setpost slit with silicone and it will never happen again.
