Help Brakes snow

[Deepbahia]

Hello, We got little bit of our first snow today and I something wired happened. I was breaking and all the sudden a griding noise came up and i could not hit the brake. the pedal felt as if it was blocked. The after some time the car stoped. I realize that only happens if I hit the brakes slowly. Anyone had experinced the same? I have a corolla 2005 only 18.000milles
Thanks a lot

sounds like your antilock brakes are working perfectly

Really, Sorry I was scared! So wired

same thing happen to me all the time before now when the road is slippery I just drive slower so that it doesn't happen and I down shift so that it help to brake too.
I know what you mean the first time that it happen to me I got scare too

ABS is so cool, I wish I had them!

They have their down side... cars stop faster in SNOW without ABS, than cars with ABS. though you do maintain some control.

ABS can NEVER replace good driving skills... I feel in more control of my corolla without ABS than the Tacoma that has ABS... dunno I may b weird...
