all i would say is strip the rear brakes down clean them up and put the brakes back together in reverse order also make sure the cable is returning all the way if it isnt then you may need a new cable as could be frayed inside its protective sleeve but see how you go first after the strip down

Take wheels off rear and hit drum with hammer to free off, Face of drum not sides.
You have prob just got moisture in there from the bad weather causing them to stick. Wil prob be ok after that.
