RE: Hard Brakes in Deep Snow!

[William Murin <murinw@cs.uwp.edu>]

I try to stay out of deep snow with my 87 4kcsq, but I have noticed that 
immediately after coming out of a car wash I have no brakes for awhile.  
Have to ride the brake pedal for a few blocks to generate friction/heat 
and then all is fine again.  Same problem?
