January weather has caused a lot of slipping and sliding! The other day, I had to walk outside in the snow (a rare occurrence where I live)! Thematically, today's genre is an Ice Walk, a relatively new one on puzz.link that I've found myself enjoying immensely! Yes, I am aware that this does make two crossing loop genres from me in a row. What can I say? They're some of my favorites!

Rules: Draw a loop through the centers of some cells which passes through each numbered cell. Two perpendicular line segments may intersect each other only on icy cells, but they may not turn at their intersection or otherwise overlap. The loop may not turn on icy cells. A number indicates how many cells make up the continuous non-icy section of the loop that the number is on.
