lots of good advice posted...

My thoughts,

1) Air entrainment is best for keeping the concrete from freezing.

2) The city or county, have approved mix designs that they use. You can get this same mix. they have done engineering for their climate and use. the ready mix company will have copies of this too.

3) Keep the slump as required by the mix design. (don't let em pour it too wet), let em cry...

4) Place this concrete on a stable (compacted) base.

5) Saw cut (score) the slab early to control the cracks. You can groove it with a tool instead of cutting if you want. I'd say at least at the halfway point. 3/4" is plenty deep for a cut or groove.

6) Tamp it! this helps fill voids and works the concrete around any reinforcing you might have, (I recommend it).

7) Don't finish it slick.

8) provide drainage.
