Find all the snowmen! Snowmen are 1 cell wide and 2 cells tall. The base of a snowman is a larger number than it's head. Snowmen cannot be orthogonally adjacent to hot digits (7,8,9) otherwise they will melt. Snowmen also cannot contain the hot digits (7,8,9).
Each 3x3 box contains exactly 1 full snowman or part of exactly 1 snowman.
German Whispers: Digits on a green line differ by at least 5.
Thermometers: Digits on a thermometer increase in value from the bulb to the tip.
X's: Digits separated by an X sum to 10. Not all X's are given.

I'm really enjoying these snowmen puzzles for the interesting logic they present, not to mention the seasonal festivity! This puzzle was a good, hearty challenge, and led me to discover some global behaviors of these snowmen

Congrats on the debut! I loved this adventure with the snowman ruleset (and seasonally appropriate!) Tricky to get a foothold, great logic throughout, and smooth after the halfway mark. Bravo.
