Reprojection from North Polar Stereo to Lat/Lon using Rioxarray causes dataset to become corrupted

Question

I am attempting to reproject a CMC Snow Depth Map (in GeoTIFF format) from North Polar Stereo to Lat/Lon. The PROJ string of the file is: '+proj=stere +lat_0=90 +lat_ts=60 +lon_0=10 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +R=6371200 +units=m +no_defs=True'. The data is stored here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EhzWiOMF2YEYpDOPpmfH58tJMQOxNdIM/view?usp=share_link

Here is a reproduction of my code block:

import rasterio
from rasterio.warp import calculate_default_transform, reproject, Resampling
from rasterio.crs import CRS
from rioxarray.crs import crs_from_user_input
import rioxarray as rxr
#### Open CMC Data ####
yrs = np.arange(1980,2020,1)

CMC_dir = '/mnt/data/obs/CMC_snow_depth/'

CMC_fil = ''.join([CMC_dir+'cmc_sdepth_dly_1998_v01.2.tif'])

dates = pd.date_range(start='08-01-1998', end='12-31-1998', freq='D')

### Create XArray Dataset ###
CMC_dataset = rxr.open_rasterio(CMC_fil,decode_coords="all")
print(CMC_dataset)

#writing the crs, using proj4
crs_CMC = CRS.from_string('+proj=stere +lat_0=90 +lat_ts=60 +lon_0=10 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +R=6371200 +units=m +no_defs=True')
CMC_dataset = CMC_dataset.rio.write_crs(crs_CMC)

    
### Reproject to Lat/Lon from Polar Stereographic ###
CMC_dataset_latlon = CMC_dataset.rio.reproject("EPSG:4326") #EPSG:4326 is the lat/lon projection 
print(CMC_dataset_latlon)

The input data has the following structure:

<xarray.DataArray (band: 153, y: 706, x: 706)>
[76260708 values with dtype=float64]
Coordinates:
  * band         (band) int64 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ... 147 148 149 150 151 152 153

    _FillValue:     -1.7e+308
    scale_factor:   1.0
    add_offset:     0.0

However, when I go to reproject the file to Lat/Lon, the dataset becomes corrupted, and the lat/lon become strange:

Any idea what is happening here?
