I did everything it mention here, replaced the master cylinder, bleed the lines, checked everything and still the brakes work, but go to the floor and makes the noise when I am on ice in the winter, but the pedal does not pulsate just the noise.

You probably have air in ABS unit there is only one other option for you to try before you take to a mechanic. Rent a power bleeder and try it that way it may work if not a mechanic has to put his scanner on it open all the valves on ABS unit then bleed it.

Check the ring gears for damage. Especially if you just replaced the rotors. Also what would help is if you can get a scanner and inspect ABS data to see if one of your wheels are dropping off during braking. When the ABS sees a wheel at 0 MPH and the other wheel spinning it thinks wheel is locking up and ABS kicks on causing pedal to drop to the floor. If you do not have the scanner to see that data then it is time for you to take it into a shop.
