In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone
Rules:
- Standard sudoku rules apply: The digits 1 through 9 appear in every row, column, and box.
- Cages: Digits in cages cannot repeat and must sum to the value shown in the upper left corner of the cage.
- Kropki pairs: Digits in cells separated by a white dot are consecutive. Not all dots are necessarily given.
- Lockout lines: Digits in the diamonds at the ends of a lockout line must differ by at least 4. Digits on a line must fall outside the range defined by their attached diamonds and may repeat if allowed by other rules.

this was the first puzzle I tried with lockout lines. Really enjoyed it! Took just a bit over ten minutes. My grid was so full of pencil markings during the break-in and it was very satisfying to gradually clean them up.

In general, I am not a huge lockout lines enthusiast. But this was really good fun. Thank you, Gerhard1963!

Took over an hour, got stuck in the beginning, but once I found the key, it went fast!

Lovely once you realise that the diamonds must differ by at least 4 rather than 3:)
