Binding brakes

Has anybody else had a problem with their brakes binding up? It happens every time I drive through deep snow. The snow packs into the wheels and seems to cause this problem. It only happens after I park the truck for a few hours(like overnight or at work), Then when I push the brake to put it in gear, sometimes they bind so bad that I can push the throttle almost 1/2 way down before they pop free and the truck moves. then they seem grabby for a while afterwards.

Anybody got 2 cents to contribute to the cause?

I had the exact same thing happen to me after launching my boat with the 200 f-150. I would hjose the wheels down and park and 3 hours later they would bind. I started putting wheel chocks after I would hose the wheels down. There is not much you can do other than make sure that your abs still works. Mine did not and I had to have it serviced.

My ABS still works fine, but this can't be good for the brakes. It's due for an oil change in about a week, I think I'll have my dealer take a look at it.
