Description
Vortex works great when importing University of Arizona SWE grids for the period where they are stored as daily data, with a single file for the entire year.
e.g.
https://climate.arizona.edu/data/UA_SWE/DailyData/2015/UA_SWE_Depth_WY2015.nc
After 2020, University of Arizona is only publishing datasets with a different .nc file for each day. When I try to import these with Vortex, the dates get all scrambled and the grid has no data.
e.g.
https://climate.arizona.edu/data/UA_SWE/DailyData/2020/10/01.nc
When I run the Importer utility for October 1, 2020, it spits out a D part of 02JUL2141:0000 and an E part of 01JAN1900:0000, and the grid has no data. Could you investigate why Vortex is having an issue with these particular file formats?
Using Vortex 0.10.27.

Research direction
Start with the Importer utility and reproduce the issue using the October 1, 2020 daily .nc file, comparing it with the annual 2015 dataset format. Trace how the file dates are read and confirm that the imported grid contains data with correct date values instead of the reported D and E dates.
