Do I need to dry it out more than it already is?

Cold pipe left out in the car overnight? Smoked outside on a cold day?

I was smoking some pretty dry PS Luxury Twist last week and suddenly got a bad case of the sizzles in two different room-temp pipes, one new pipe and one well broken in . I started smoking half-bowls filled with less compression and that was that. I wait for warmer weather to see if the sizzles go away.
