possibly balance or allignment.
check your tire pressures.
check if you can see where any wheel weights may have come off

Ice/snow in the wheels? That happened to me once. You may also need an alignment.

Try that first then. Last year during a snowstorm I plowed into a snow bank and then later when I was on the highway the car started to vibrate. I took it to a shop the next day to get an alignment, and they said it was just the ice and snow build up.

I'm going to agree with the others and say tire pressure is off or balance is off.
