I wear <a href="http://www.outdoorresearch.com/home/style/home/gaiters/gaiters_trail/61055" target="_blank">OR Flex-Tex</a> gaiters when snowshoeing or running in the snow. I like 'em even though they have that darned strap under the foot that can be a pain in the butt to tie just right, but at least they keep the snow out.
