In my previous post, I mentioned the new installment of Pulze. More good news coming out of TamBox - It looks like the Bulletins are also back! This free weekly publication typically includes a sudoku, pencil puzzle, a word/visual/trivia puzzle and the latest news from the puzzling world. Feel free to check it out here: https://www.tam-box.com/blog!

While looking through old GAPPs for inspiration for today's puzzle I landed on Barns, which we haven't covered in over two years. I think I may have taken a bit too much inspiration though, as my visual theme came out very similar to the previous installment. Hopefully Eric won't mind.

Rules: Draw a loop through the centers of all cells, which may not pass through bold borders. 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.

Note: Enabling the "Color each line" option is strongly recommended!
