Is there a word for the hard slush buildup in the wheel well of the car in winter? I've always called them "chunkers". Is there another name for it?

I calls them “slush puppies” :) and kicks them off as soon as I gets home.

I heard a contest for new words on "All Things Considered" several years ago, and one of the words suggested for this substance was snard.  I always thought that that was an excellent word for it.  It was a suggested word, not one in any dictionary, and has not caught on, but it should!!

My siblings and I used to call that stuff "tire snot."
