That's called Traction Control, a function of the VSA. Noise you hear is the ABS modulator activating to apply braking force to the front wheels to reduce tire spin.

Key words: "just snowed", "drove a little hard", "gas(s)ed from a stop", "VSA kicked in"

You're hitting the gas too much, causing the wheel to spin, VSA to engage, and that "crunching noise" to sound
