Default Problem In the Snow

After taking my blazer thru some very deep snow today i had gotten stuck had to be pulled out of course i was spinning the tires trying to romp thru it so idk if this has anything to do with my issue.

Parked the truck with no problems the whole underside is caked with snow all around the tires etc.. Truck was sitting very cold outside about 3 degress start it put it in reverse notice its hard to drive. My friends looks and sure enough my right rear tire was locked up and dragging it would role a few feet foward and backwards then lock up??

So i finally put it in reverse and gave it hell the force was enough to break it loose and i havnt had anymore problems any ideas what the hell the problem was or is?

Ahhh by any chance did you apply your parking break?? If so that's probly what your issue was. I drive a stick and use my park break every day and when it gets below around -20 C the parkbreak will seize on for a second or two before it pops loose. I beleve this is my issue anyways. Anyone else with an idea?

Sometimes when i drive down my road before they plow it, i get home park it and in the morning the pads and shoes freeze to the rotors and drums they all pop and all is fine after that. I would guess you got snow in there and it froze after driving it the snow melts and drys problem goes away
