Violent Car Shaking

Im in Chicago and im sure all of you know we just had massive snow storm around 20 inches of snow where im at. Snow pretty much got all over my car engine, wheels/tires, all the bottom of the car, my breaks are covered too. Today coming back from work i was barely hitting 40+mph when my car started to shake really baddd what can it be? I just got an alignment not to long ago maybe 2-3 weeks ago.anyone got any ideas what it can be??
