It seems like every time I drive through relatively deep snow, that my steering wheel starts to vibrate pretty bad. This usually lasts a day or 2 and gets noticable at about 45 MPH and gets worse the faster I go. I usually knock all the slush and ice buildup from around the wheel well before I drive, but I stil can't figure out what could be happening to make the steering wheel (and you can feel it throughout the car), vibrate so violently.

Oh yes, almost forgot. I drive a Chevy Cobalt.

You may have knocked off one of the balancing weights. Get them balanced.

Actually, I thought of that...all of them are on all of the tires.

but if they have been moved they are no longer balancing the wheel correctly. Get them checked.
