Calipers sticking to rotors?

This is for all my evo peeps up in the frozen tundra. When driving your evo around blasting through snow driving in -degree weather does anyone have their wheels stick when they get into their car after leaving it parked for. Few hours? This ****s annoying!

Happens to me too. I just "throw" myself into the seatback once or twice and it gets it unstuck.

Rock it using the engine power and don't use the parking brake unless you need to.

Every now and then when it sticks really hard I end up burning the clutch trying to get it unstuck. Their is no real solution to this problem?

Do like I said; lean back into the seat hard enough to jolt the car backward a bit. One or two "lounges" should get it unstuck.
