Dig the hole, pack it with straw, and cover it with boards. It will be
easy to open once the ground has frozen. Call your concrete supplier and
ask about temperature limitations, they are local so they will know. New
buildings are now going up year-round. Don't know how they are getting
around the old limitations on temperature and curing times but it seems
that they are! :-)
