The first 24 hours is critical. IF you can insulate, and IF you can add Calcium Chloride, and IF you can place it fast enough, and IF you can place it early enough in the day, and IF the temp does not go below freezing for the first 24 hours..... you should be ok. Concrete will atain 75% of strength in the first 24 hours and max strength in 30 days. The hay will work (burlap or plastic tarp over it first). I'd wait until Spring, but if you get 3-4 days in the 40'2 and it doesn't drop below freezing it should work, dependingonwhere you live and your soil. The stone under the concrete is a must.
