Default Brake issues...

My pedal seems to gradually work its way down to the floor while Im sitting at a stop light. It just started tonight, we had a snow storm come through tonight and I know the abs kicked in a couple of times. Not sure whats going on here, but just wanted to hear some opinions.

Default One of two things...

fluid is leaking out of the system somewhere (check soft brake lines and bleeder screws. If you can't find a leak and the reservoir is maintaining it's original level, then it's a failing master cylinder (underneath the fluid reservoir). Get this fixed ASAP whatever the problem is!!
