LBTC,
That's so THRILLING, you and DH and dogs all out there snowshoeing for the first time together today in fresh snow!! How great is THAT? (dogs were using thier "natural" snowshoes though)
Interesting about the wet bum issue- I'll have to see if that happens to me. I did get gaiters so the snow wouldn't get in my boots. I imagine it depends on your walking style, your shoes, and the type of snow all combining to dictate the degree of "snow flip". Did your husband get snowflipbum too, or just you??

I'm so happy for you- I can hear the excitement in your post!
