Default 2000 Accord Problem (Vibrations)

2000 Accord V6 with about 60k miles

Last night driving down a road I noticed some vibrations coming from my car. Not from the steering wheel, more from the pedals.

-Only feel them around 40 mph not below that, and only slightly feel them above that.
-This happened last night but today on the way to work (30 minute drive) I didn't notice anything.

All I did today was fill my tank up, I was gettin close to E last night.

We also got around 8 inches of snow the last couple days, is it possible that some snow impacted somewhere in the wheel or wheel well? Maybe driving over snow I knocked somthing out of place?

Snow could have unbalanced your rear tires. Adding that much fuel and weight to your car could have changed the balance characteristics of your car so wait and see if the shake comes back when you get low on fuel again but see if you can avoid so much snow at that point in time.

It's common for snow to accumulate in the wheels. After the car sits a while the snow can partially melt and make the "bottom" part of the wheel heavier. This will cause a very nice vibration throughout the whole car and could be what you feel at the pedals. Check the wheels for snow/ice and remove it, being careful not to knock any wheel balance weights off in the process.
