Thanks! I'm heading in pretty soon, going up to Half Dome and Clouds Rest, so this is invaluable. (I just posted a query asking about conditions.)
You not only didn't need snowshoes, but do appear to be using microspikes, correct? Were those completely sufficient?
I suspect the snow might be deep enough going up Clouds Rest that I'd be postholing in the upcoming conditions, though. Hmmm.
