Got stuck in the snow - got out but now ABS light is on?

Well, just like the title says...I got stuck in the 12" of snow we had trying to turn out of my driveway (my car's lowered on Megan street coilovers) - the snow was just too high and essentially the frame bottomed out. I finally got out, but now the "Anti-Lock" light is on, even when sitting at idle. Could this just be from so much snow being where it shouldn't or something worse? Any ideas?

You may have some water intrusion in one of the wheel speed sensors. Sometimes the ABS light turns on when traction control sees wheel speeds that don't correspond. ABS & TCS use the same computer. If all the connectors for the wheel speed sensors are clean, dry & connected and the light doesn't turn off, see you local dealer or a shop you trust that has a scan tool that can read ABS/TCS codes.
