During winter never use the E-brake you are asking for trouble.

Open up that side and inspect the cable and shoes-maybe the cable is tensioned or a frozen wheel cyclinder etc.

Suggested Repair

Avoid using the parking brake in winter. Open the passenger-side rear brake and inspect the cable and shoes for excess tension, and check for a frozen wheel cylinder.
