Pic is the temp here yesterday when I left home. I drove to work in a hard snow but no problems. Car sat in the parking lot in these temps & snowing for about 5 hours. When I left roads were ice covered. I was just creeping along. Got to the end of the first road decelerated to maybe 2-4 MPH just off the gas before gently braking. Heard an awful crunching noise & started sliding. No ABS as I was going too slowly. It felt more like the brakes were frozen than just tires sliding on ice so I released & gently reapplied the brakes a few times & finally stopped. I gently pumped the brakes a few times to test them on a dry part of the road & they were fine. No further issues on the way home. I daily drove my Camaro the first couple years & in snow/ice many times without problems. Never felt or heard the sensation of this event. Is it likely that the brakes were frozen?
