I used edge logic to get going once LL ran out (the blue 7 in the rightmost column and the blue 13 in the 3rd-to-last row). Then it was careful counting and color logic, and greying out the clues I'd placed, to keep track. There was a bit of lookahead in the lower left corner at the end, but it was easy enough to keep in my head. Not sure if that would qualify it as deep lookahead, since I had to go 4-5 moves in my head.#2: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Dec 22, 2012
Lovely image, but maybe an extra pixel of black in the lower left corner would help the solve (unless you were going for deep lookahead). I would suggest R21 C10.
only a few blacks to place at that point, with very few spaces open. I'll add the pixel though...#3: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Dec 22, 2012

thanks, Jota! I thought to do it after you mentioned wanting snow...#8: Teresa K (fasstar) on Dec 23, 2012
Wow. This is really a good puzzle, Kurt. Lovely image and way fun to solve, even if it was a bit of a challenge.#9: Lollipop (lollipop) on Mar 29, 2013

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.#13: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jul 11, 2018 [HINT]
I solved this in 2012 before I got my Solvability Powers. I voted it as mod lookahead, but didn't make a comment as to how I solved it.#14: Velma Warren (Shiro) on Jan 22, 2019
This time I did edge logic on the 13 in r23 as soon as I could. Then ll/cl
EL 7 c25 places it (this could have been done first.) Then ll/cl extends the line up to the top.
EL 8 r1 = c1-6 white. Then LL/CL finishes it.
Wonderful.#15: derby (Derby) on Dec 4, 2019 [SPOILER]

I love it when I have to really work at solving a puzzle.
This one is awesome! Thanks for a fun solve!
