Front Disc brake making noise while I applied brake heavily with snowy condition - road un-even level. This is my first time using / driving ABS under heavy snow condition.

I felt like the front end jumping when I applied the break. Is it anything wrong?
Would you please tell me if that is wrong or not with 2005 camry.

Thank you for your sharing experience.

Just apply constant pressure on the brake and steer as necessary, DON'T pump like regular brake. The ABS will take care itself....

Thanks Steve for your quick response bro

I did apply the brake firmly . However, the front end úp / down like jumping that makes
me scared. Not sure that would be normal or I do need to have it checked up ?

That's normal...When the ABS kick in, it will release the brake when it feel the wheel is locked up. That's why you will have the feeling like that. I'm not quite sure why you see the front end up/down like that :), is it because the front shock is bad? You could bring to dealer for check up if the car is still under guarantee..
