I too am sorry you missed your opportunity.

You started a previous thread on this subject about 2 weeks ago where a number of useful suggestions were offered -

including checking the CHP and Caltrans websites or renting a vehicle with 4-wheel drive and snow tires. The 4 WD vehicles with snow tires are almost always allowed to pass without chains, especially at these lower altitudes.

There are no chains required on highway 41 or any of the roads into the main areas of the park or Mariposa Grove today. I got the information from the Caltrans website and the Yosemite Road conditions phone number listed on the Caltrans website. There is no rain or snow predicted for the next couple of days and the roads show remain open. You do not need to carry chains in a non-commercial vehicle.
