Metal on metal and burning

[kid_ding]

I drove into work today and had no problem. Leaving work, I turn on the heater and music. Driving away, I smell burning and hear squeaking. I turn the heater off but the burning smell is still there, so I turn the music off and notice that the sound is coming from the rear. My first thought is the brakes. But application of the brakes actually makes the noise go away. Reverse also produces no noise.

I have Tein SS coilovers, jacked back up for winter and am riding on 16". I've had no problems all summer and this is my first winter. There's been snow on the ground for a while now and had no problems up until now. I also live in Winnipeg, Manitoba so it's always cold here. It's actually plus 1 celsius today but would that affect anything?

It's saturday and I had to get my car towed to the dealership which won't open till Monday. Any ideas on what it could be? I want to have an idea so the dealership doesn't tell me I need to spend more than I have to. I am under warranty (only 9000km as I bought the car in June)

Rear brake piston frozen maybe

Oh, I forgot to post what the problem was. I had a rock stuck between the rotor and the brakes. No big deal, the dealership just popped it out. No damage and I got a carwash out of it (useless cuz 2 days later, it's dirty again).

Haha, glad it was something simple. Feel like a new man after gettin it taken care of

If it makes you feel any better, this happens quite often, makes a horrible noise though.
