sounds like you might have a wire harness plug loose. Look under the rear of the car, driver's side, above the axle. There are several wire harness plugs located on the bottom of the floorpan, some are easy to knock loose. Just make sure they are all plugged in tightly.

I have a similiar problem on my daily driver, 96' Tahoe. I took it into the shop and they said that all 4 abs wheel sensors are fine, but the main controller under the hood is out.
If nine ball's recommendation doesn't work.
Have the shop check out all of your abs sensors and main controller.

Have you driven it much since the lights
came on. Put a couple miles on it and it
should go out once the PCM goes through
a few algarythms.
The snow had your back wheels spinning,
which called the light.
Same thing happens on a dyno.
