Lost channels

In Dec 2011 you folks helped me with a very successful set up of my first antenna to receive digital TV in this thread... http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=2895

Here is my local info... http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...403359c6ee02ef

The stations I have been picking up are...
2.1 WFMY HD
2.2 WFMY SD
3.1 WBTV-DT
3.2 WBTV-SD
3.3 BOUNCE
4.1 UNC-TV
4.2 UNC-KD (Kids)
4.3 UNC-EX
8.1 WGHP
8.2 TV8.2
12.1 WXII-TV
12.2 THIS TV
16.1 ION
16.2 qubo (Kids)
16.3 ION Life
20.1 WCWG
20.2 WCWG D2
20.3 WCWG D3 (Spanish)
20.4 WCWG D4
26.1 UNC-TV
26.2 UNC-KD (Kids)

36.1 WCNC-HD
36.2 WCNC-LW
43.1 WLXI-SD

43.4 WLXI-SD3
45.1 WXLV HD
45.2 WXLV-SD
48.1 WMYV HD MY48
48.2 WMYV SD The Cool TV

Mostly strong signals, but some were weak enough to occasionally lose signal.

The stations I watched most were...
2.1 WFMY HD
2.2 WFMY SD
4.1 UNC-TV
4.3 UNC-EX
8.1 WGHP
8.2 TV8.2
12.1 WXII-TV
12.2 THIS TV
16.1 ION
20.1 WCWG
45.1 WXLV HD
48.1 WMYV HD MY48

Last week we had lots of rain, snow & some wind. I lost the following "most watched" channels...
4.1 UNC-TV
4.3 UNC-EX
8.1 WGHP
8.2 TV8.2
12.1 WXII-TV
12.2 THIS TV
16.1 ION


Sometimes I can get 8.1 WGHP, 8.2 & 16.1 ION tried to come in once but never did.

I went to the roof & I could see nothing wrong with the connections or coaxial cable.
I used the suggested tape for sealing the connections outside. Do you think water may have still gotten inside?
And would that cause me to loose some stations but not others?
Thanks.
