Sounds like either your cable broke or your e-brake shoes froze. Somethings jammed up in there. pull your wheel and check out the cable.

Sounds to me like water in the cable housing froze, so that side's not releasing, can you heat it up and see if it releases?

if it is snowing or even really cold dont set ur e-brake! it will freeze and that can happen. it happened to my stepdads tacoma it wasnt fully locked up so he was still able to drive it tell it warmed up and un-locked
