Snow packed in wheel wells, wrench light came on

Hey guys, I was traveling through the UP of Michigan the other day on a 100 mile commute and the snow was very heavy and sticky and I ended up getting so much in my wheel wells that I had to pull over and use my mini bat to beat it all out. I've never had this problem with any other car and have lived and been driving in the Midwest my entire life. Anyways the wrench light came moments before I pulled over and is always on when I turn my car and *usually* disappears after a few minutes. The oil life gauge tab of the trip also is coming up every time I start up showing a message under my oil life (My oil is currently at a safe percent, so it is unrelated) and is displaying the figures, A 1. Is this a code I need to have to cleared or something more major. Thanks.

August

Awesome, I was hoping the snow affecting the wheel turning didn't damage anything internal. I am at 15% I'm assuming its best to do the change around 10%?

when the minder comes on, honda wants you to change. 3-5k miles depending what type you use. And 5-20 is honda recommended.

That 15% oil life minder is a royal PITA if you ask me. I wish they'd make it optional to have it come on at 5% instead.
