Did you need snowshoes?

Last week there were 4 or 5 sections (50 to 200 meters long) of knee to waist deep snow in the trees. They were exhausting, but snowshoes wouldn't really help as snow was unsupportive. Getting the high temperatures all this week, my guess is that most of that snow should be gone. So wouldn't recommend bringing snowshoes - just extra weight to carry.
