 ### Changed
 
+- [#634](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/issues/635) Fixed parsing of semi-structured objects in the snowflake of dialects with whitespace gaps.
 - [#632](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/632) Handle internal errors elegantly, reporting the stacktrace and the error-surfacing file.
 - [#633](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/issues/633) Improve message for when an automatic fix is not available for L004.
 - Big refactor of logging internally. `Linter` is now decoupled from

problem_statement: Parsing error when using Snowflake single or double-colon syntax for semi-structured data traversal and casting
When linting queries like the following using Snowflake's double-colon casting syntax:

`SELECT 
  ID :: VARCHAR as id, 
  OBJ : userId :: VARCHAR as user_id, 
  OBJ : offerId :: VARCHAR as offer_id, 
  redemptions.value : awardedReceiptId :: VARCHAR as awarded_receipt_id, `


There is the following error: `L:   7 | P:  20 |  PRS | Found unparsable section: ' : awardedReceiptId ::
                       | VARCHAR as awarde...'`
