Just regular lightweight snow shoes are enough. I just like hiking out there in the middle of nowhere, knowing I am not going to go hip deep into the snow!

Yellow! Glad to hear you're having fun running again! It sounds beautiful. Last Christmas morning I went out for a run. It was snowing and magical. I reflected on miserable Christmases past, and all I'd done to get free. Running is great for that.
That very day I got some Nordic walking shoes and poles I'd asked for. The shoes are like heavy-duty running shoes, water proof and sturdy-soled. Very good for running in that freeze-melt-freeze stuff Colby referred to.
I'll bet Miss Pika likes running better than cycling!
I'll run in snow up to my knees (it becomes difficult to impossible any higher than that for any length of time).
Yes, it's slippery--but so is mud, wet grass, wet rocks. You learn to push off more carefully, take higher shorter steps when there's a higher risk of slipping.
In several years of running in snow I've only fallen once--slipped on black ice. I was only bruised. Compare to five or six falls I've had running on rocks, mud, even pavement--two were twisted ankles. If you fall in snow, all you get is snow-covered!
