Were you hearing the ABS kicking in? Did the brake pedal pulse while stopping in snow or on ice? If so that is normal and your car was doing its job keeping you safe.

The ABS "pumps" the brakes to keep them from locking up and making you slide off the road. If it does this a lot then your tires might be worn and slick.
