In yesterday’s snow storm, was pulling up to a red light and as i tried to brake gradually as approaching the light, there was a lot of resistance pushing against my foot.  
  
  
  
 i have driven cars with and without ABS and i would only expect this from a car without ABS. This is the first time it happens to me with my Civic (that has ABS) so this complaint may be premature.

If the pushing against your foot is a pulsation, it’s probably the ABS cycling. The snow likely caused some early lockup and the ABS is doing it’s job.

Aside from how the pedal felt, how did the brakes work? Anything unusual?
