The snowman melted in the heat of Miami, only his pipe, scarf and coal eyes and nose left.

thanks for clarifying the now-so-obvious basis of this puzzle

Ahhh, very nice. My reaction was much the same as bugaboo... totally obvious only I somehow didn't quite make the connection. haha

I'm no expert, but I don't think this puzzle requires guessing... I used colour logic and edge logic. And pretty basic stuff. Like, if I did it, then really it can't be that hard.

This was a really fun solve, with a cool image! :)

I didn't have to guess either. I like the picture, too. I almost bought a snow globe like this last time I was in Houston.

After the line/color logic, simple edge logic with the 9 clue on the top row, followed by edge logic with the 4 clue on the last column. The 4 clue can only go in one place. Solves normally from there.

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.
