How To Pour Concrete Floors In Freezing Temperatures (Did The Concrete Freeze!)

Pouring a concrete floor.
We showed up to pour this floor and it had rained & snowed the night before, leaving a sheet of ice over the sub-grade.
If I'd known that in advance, I would of cancelled the pour and had the GC clean the area.
Unfortunately, this was a 90 minute ride to get here and concrete was already on the way (so no cancelling).
We broke up the ice and shoveled it over the wall, took us 1.5 hours to get this clean and ready to pour.
Never pour over any frozen ground, snow or ice. You're asking for trouble!
