Ok so I got stuck in my driveway and had to go into 4x4 while stopped. So I get unstuck then run over the snow bank a couple times to get it out of the way, then pop out of 4x4 and as I'm going around the neighborhood my front left wheel starts to squeal, and its not the brakes. Could this be caused by snow built up in the wheel or did I break something?

There is a tin shield or dust cover that is close to the inside of the rotor. The snow probably pushed it against the rotor. Just grab it and pull it away - should be about 1" between the shield and the rotor. I've had the snow do this to several different vehicles, it's very common...
