sure it happens to lots of people. Either there is water in the ebrak cable sleves and the cable gets frozen inside, or more commonly the piston in the caliper gets froze. You shouldnt use your ebrake when its really cold outside if you dont have to.

take a blow dryer to it. I had the same problem on my ranger, but I tried to force it open by driving with it and crushed all the brake parts into a powder. Just let it thaw.

You could unclip the ebrake from the caliper if its a frozen cable issue. I would try pumping your brakes with button pushed in on ebrake for releasebefore that though-sometimes works (with engine running)
