Was up there the last two days. Thursday it snowed off and on most of the day. About an inch or two stuck around from Trail Camp up.
Yesterday was clear gorgeous blue skies, with wind only hitting us about half way up the switchbacks, then around the final push up the back side of Whitney
Heading up the switchbacks it was snowy but not too icy. We summitted around noon, then headed back down (after a a very windy 45 minutes on top) By then most of the snow had been melted/walked away. On the way down, the cables were snowy but not too icy. Microspikes weren't needed, and I think there wasn't quite enough snow for them to bite into.
As long as more snow doesn't fall today, microspikes definitely won't be needed this weekend.
