A big *thanks!* to all on the list who replied with a variety of 
hardware and maintenance suggestions.

The issue turned out to be failure to back the adjusters off the 
recommended 3+ clicks after replacing rear wheel cylinders and 
re-assembling.

Took a while for the wind to drop below 40 knots and the wind chill to 
abate, temps back into the 50s in order to get it done, though.
