What are the rules for placing concrete in cold weather on Alaska DOT projects?

"Measure and record air temperature in the work area, away from sunlight and artificial heat, at approximate 12 hour intervals, at least twice each 24- hour period. Air temperature measurement is not required when air temperature is expected to remain above 40°F throughout concrete placement and the curing period." [1]
