I’ve had this happen on my 9-5s several times especially when it is wet and gets suddenly very cold. So I leave the hand brake off in those conditions. I also try to push as much of the snow as possible out of the wheels because it will partly melt from the heat of the brake and then freeze to the wheel. Then you have a severely unbalanced wheel and the bad shaking. It can be particularly bad when a snowplow packs snow into the wheel as it goes by. It usually takes several hours above freezing for the hand brake to release but if you drive it frozen the hub can get very hot from the brake dragging. Where it freezes isn’t near the hub so the hot hub doesn’t thaw the frozen cable.
