Did you do a flush? Probably just dissolved all the crud that was keeping the coolant in the water pump!
That seal can fail pretty quickly -- probalby didn't get any pressure in it until you drove it on the highway, what with it being winter and all, so it's actually been bad for a while, but didn't leak enough to see until it got hot and high rpm with pressure behind the coolant.
