Ice can damage one or more of the sensors, or just may be blocking the signal. If its not clear after the thaw, you may need to get it on a VAGCOM.

I had my ABS and ESP loight come on and stay on until I switched the car off. VAG Com refers to an intermittent fault with a brake switch. I had this before on the wifes A4 Cab.

I noticed mine did this a couple of days ago after I'd been hooning it around an empty car park in the snow.

It stayed on until I turned the engine off then it went out again next time I started it up.

I guess it may just be a combination of the damp and cold.
