Comment (by yawning):

 {{{
 Jan 30 10:45:04.000 [warn] We were supposed to connect to bridge
 '0.0.3.0:1' using pluggable transport 'snowflake', but we can't find a
 pluggable transport proxy supporting 'snowflake'. This can happen if you
 haven't provided a ClientTransportPlugin line, or if your pluggable
 transport proxy stopped running.
 }}}

 Suggests the pluggable transport binary is failing to launch or crashing
 immediately.  I personally suspect the former (and have a hunch about the
 root cause).  Since PT logging sucks (and will continue to suck for the
 foreseeable future, see #9957), the next step will be manually running the
 binary to see if it's at least marginally functional.

 {{{
 $ cd tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Tor/PluggableTransports
 $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/blahblahblah/tor-browser_en-
 US/Browser/TorBrowser/Tor/ ./snowflake-client
 }}}

 Note: Adjust the paths as appropriate to match your system.
