Rising Tenperatures

Rules:
Normal sudoku and Thermo rules apply:
Place the digits 1-6 once each in every row, column, and box.
Digits along a thermometer must strictly increase from the bulb to the tip.
Make a 1-cell-wide loop of orthogonally connected cells, which does not branch or touch itself – not even diagonally.
The loop acts as a Ten Line: it can be divided entirely into contiguous, non-overlapping segments, each consisting of cells that sum to 10. (A segment may contain repeated digits.)
Each thermo bulb is on the loop.
The digit in a bulb indicates how many loop cells it can see horizontally or vertically combined, including itself. Non-loop cells block the vision.
other Ten Loop puzzles:
- Tenacious Ten Loop (9x9 Arrow)
- Teeny Ten Loop (6x6 Arrow)
- Heat Intensity (9x9 Thermo)
Solution code: Digits on the loop in columns 3 and 5
(no spaces, read each column top to bottom)

Really fun snack! I'd love to see a 9x9 version of this.

Very nice - great interaction with the ruleset, of which I forgot one of the rules for a minute or two. Thanks!
