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.

Entropic lines: 3 consecutive cells on a peach Entropic line must contain a low digit (123), a middle digit (456) and a high digit (789).

Black Kropki dots contain digits with 1:2 ratio. Not all possible dots are given.

Little killers: Digits outside the box with a diagonally pointing arrow equal the sum of all digits on that diagonal.

X's: Digits separated by an X sum to 10. Not all X's are given.

Maximum cell: Row 9 Column 8 is larger than it's orthogonally adjacent neighbours.
