Rear end feels like brakes are freezing but wheels are turning, HELP!! 200 1990

I have a '90 240 SW that has 240,000 on it and runs like a top. Yesterday I started driving and it started to thump really bad and felt just like both rear wheels were locked up. It felt like I was dragging the car. It's really cold here so I thought it was just a brake hanging up so I accelerated and it felt like it let loose. Then it did it again while I was driving. I stopped at a friends house and asked her to see if my wheels were turning, they were. I drove home with it like that. every so often it would "break loose" and drive fine. I did notice that it does it in forward and reverse. I went out today and got under it to see if anything was leaking or hanging down-nothing was. There is also no noise, rubbing, sqealing, scraping, etc. Nor was there any noise before this happened.

I drive people around everyday in it. That's how I make money-No car, no money well, you know how that goes:) PLEASE help me!! I love this car and don't want to get rid of it.
