Why not get some new pads to go with them.. it couldnt hurt.. unless the ones that are on there now are brand new...
Make sure everthing around your wheel is tight... your caliper.. ect...
Good Luck

Braking on snow as in a "crunching of snow" sound? What does this mean?

I think you are stopping to hard and its the sound of tires sliding on the pavement. Not a squeal but crunch sound. Does it happen at slow speeds?
