Default emergency/parking brake locking up

I have a 1999 Honda Accord EX Sedan, 5-speed manual transmission (bought it brand new). I park my car on a slope so I use the emergency/parking brake. Last week, temperatures dipped below freezing (into the 10s) and (coincidentally?) the emergency/parking brake locked up. I ended up replacing the calipers, rotor, and pads, but this morning (it was in the 20s) the emergency/parking brake locked up again.
Is this really coincidence? Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong? Has this happened to anyone else?
