Re-raised an issue with the earthaccess package, where attempting to download data on CryoCloud returns a bucket listing error. Amy Steiker from NSIDC confirmed near the end of the session that some of the basic download workflows from NASA Openscapes are running into the same problem.

Also worked on refining a Jupyter Notebook for the eventual Snow Cookbook, which I hope to have more progress on starting next week.
