I had the same problem. I was driving down the road one day and the snow had collected and clumped on the e-brake cable and actually locked my e-brake up going 60mph. No good. So I bought some big zip ties and looped them around the frame and the e-brake cable loosely (just enough so they weren't sagging) and havent had a problem since.
