Learn English – What do you call snow that has collected between a car body and the tire

single-word-requests

Snowy areas commonly see snow collect between a car body and tire. There is some strange satisfaction in kicking that snow off of the car and I've been in many conversations about miscellaneous details of this particular type of snow collection. Photographic example:

Snow under tire.

But is there a word I can use to refer to this clump? I am looking for a word similar to "icicle" or "stalactite" but a bit more specific.

According to a renowned authority, in the Northeastern part of the United States accumulations as shown are called snow goblins. Other authorities call them snow cuds or snow boogers.
