Bubbles in toilet, gurgling sound coming from kitchen sink

sinktoilet

So, all of a sudden, I have big bubbles coming out from my toilet bowl when the washing machine is pushing water out. Thinking it might be a clogged toilet bowl, I took the plunger to the bowl. I flushed, and the kitchen sink started making gurgling sound.

What's going on?

I know a house that has this all the time because there is no vent stack. Any excess gas in the drain lines bubbles through the sinks. It's possible the snow has effectively blocked the vent pipe on the roof, causing this bubbling.
