EL 9 r20
LL
EL 7 r1 limits it to c13-20, so r1c14-19 must be black
LL
Two way logic 7 r1: whether it goes in c13 or c20, r2c13 will be black
LL to finish
This may not all be needed, i found a bit of LL that i had missed earlier. However, there's not more than moderate lookahead needed.

My guess is that this is the eponymous frozen boot from Aldege's Frozen Boot Award.#6: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Jun 19, 2022 [SPOILER]
I must have missed the Frozen Boot award. That is hilarious!! It sounds very Canadian!!#7: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Jan 16, 2024
Think I only used LL but maybe I made a lucky mistake. Lemme try again...#8: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Jan 16, 2024 [HINT]
Yep, line logic. Really fun solve!#9: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Jan 16, 2024
Found to be solvable by line logic alone by dbouldin.#10: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Jan 16, 2024 [HINT]
Ditto here: I solved it with line logic only -- though there was one of those spots where you need to say "whether there is a 1 or a 2 in these three spaces, the third spot has to be a dot."#11: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on Jan 17, 2024
I love these kind of puzzles, Valerie...and I'm getting really good at thinking through and using logical deductions. Lol...that does a lot for the old ego, I find!
