Why is my car shaking violently.

Today I drove my 07 C2S for the first time in a week due to inclimate weather. Well, the weather actually was still inclimate today as I drove down one mostly snow covered road for about a mile. The temperature was 2 degrees. I got on the interstate, and as I approached 55 mph, I noticed the steering wheel jerking somewhat violently. Naturally, I thought of tire pressures, though TPMS showed the right front at 30 and the right left at 29, both rears at 35. No warning was shown. So I continued at about 50 mph. I went to work and just came back and it is still doing the exact same thing. I got new tires about two months ago. Why was my car driving fine a week ago and now it's not?
My bet is you have some frozen snow/slush inside one of the front wheels. It has created an unbalanced wheel.
Drive slow to a spray and wash joint, and spray the insides of the wheels out, and viola! - back to normal highway cruising.
(oops - I see others posted about this too already)
