Abnormal Vibration due to Snow/Ice Buildup on Wheels

Driving to work this morning in our 2017 tech AWDI noticed a strange steering wheel/cabin vibration at speeds above 35mph the entire cabin vibrates to the point of bouncing my backpack out of the passanger seat and the steering wheel vibartes as if the lane departure warning is activated but no dashboard indicator on, have anyone experienced something similar ? Car sat in our driveway during yesterday snow storm cleaned cameras/radar well before driving It.

there's snow/ice on your rims so the rims are off balance. just remove all dirt/snow from your rims, you should be fine.

Yes. What he said. You mentioned snow storm. If there's snow packed in your rims, it can seriously unbalance the wheels.
