Its an easy test.. break the surface tension and see if the snow sinks or mixes...
I doubt its density.. unless your pool is warming up a lot, I see you are in Az.
For the OCLT you want to test after the sun sets and then in the morning before the sun rises. For routine testing I try to test at the same time everyday so I can compare day to day. If you test in the morning you will see the effect of whatever your pool did that night.. if you test in the evening you will see the effect of whatever your pool did that day. I like mornings, since I run my SWG at night I can see if I am prepared for whatever the day has planned; pool party, forecast for hot temps; and I can tweak accordingly. Besides, morning is my quiet time with me, my pool and my coffee. Everyone has a different methodology, just be consistent.
After the SLAM use this as a general guide: What Are My Ideal Pool Levels? - Trouble Free Pool and follow this chart for your FC: FC/CYA Levels
In AZ you will see the Cl demand go down due to temps and the sun not being as high .. you'll adjust accordingly.
