    I'll offer up some help, could be your tire pressure, your alignment, or any specific part of your suspension for that matter.
    answer: have your tires/suspension checked.
    If teh problem persists then i would offer a different cause... I may be way off but your motor may be mounted loosely, or somethign to that affect.

    anywho I'd ahve to drive the car to give you a defenative answer, because there is a major difference in teh feel each of those "shakes" would give you.

            Did you make any panic stops recently? You might have a bald spot on one of your tires.
            Also try cleaning any snow/mud/sticks out of the inside of your wheels. My friend had snow packed in his rims, and the car would shake violently at speeds above 50 mph. It took us two hours to finally figure out what was happening.

              might want to try having your tires aligned.

                This happened to me last winter. I took it into the dealer and the cleaned out the ice behind the rims and brakes and all was well.

                  park your car underground or in a heated parking lot.
                  since you guys are getting ok weather this week.. go take it to a "do it yourself" car wash and clean out the wheel wells REALLY well.
                  it's just snow and **** in there.. i got it REAL bad last year cuz i had **** all-seasons on my car. parked it underground for a day, and it was fine.
                  it's caused by spinning your tires in snow, shoving snow in ever nook 'n cranny of your wheel well.. struts, springs, rotors, pads.. everything gets covered in salt 'n snow making everything offset itself.

                        BINGO! Uneven wear will also do it. Your alignment may also be causing your tires to wear uneven, so I would get it all checked out.

                            I got the same things append to me this weekend. I parked my car in the snow (2-3' high) when i came back home from school, next thing i know, my steering was going crazy when hitting 100km/h. Went to the water washing things, clean the wheels and all the area around it with warm water if you can, and it should be gone..seeing that you are from n.b. i assume you got a lot of snow too

                              What are you doing driving on bald tires in the snow any way?
