Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Find all the snowmen! Snowmen are 1 cell wide and 2 cells tall. The base of a snowman is a larger number than its 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: Consecutive digits on a green line differ by at least 5 in value.
Killer Cages: Digits in a cage cannot repeat and sum to the clue given.
X's: Digits separated by an X sum to 10. Not all X's are given.
Maximum cell: row 5 column 3 is larger than it's orthogonally adjacent neighbours.
