Unhappy ABS light

so as anyone in the New England area knows we just got a ton of snow on the ground really really fast...

with that being said I was driving home and came to my driveway (a sharp incline probably around 50-60 degrees). I've driven my civic a few times in the snow so at this point I know the best way to get up my driveway has been to just punch it at the beginning of the driveway and ride all the way up around 5000-redline (which usually does the trick). Today though I had to try it about 4-5 times and on the second to last try my ABS light came on when I was midway up my driveway. I checked out the owners manual and it says that if the light goes on it means there is something wrong with the abs so it shuts down and should be checked by the nearest dealer. My question is, does anyone know what could have happened/gone wrong with my car??

if it helps, I have a completely stock setup at this time, so no engine mods, etc...

It has happened to mine 2 time after about a day it ended up going out. But other than the light coming on everything was fine.
