here in the mountains of central arizona, we have many sub-freezing nights…can anyone tell me the best way to apply/use an insulated ‘blanket’, without screwing up the surface appearance of the concrete? the blankets, when in contact with the recently poured concrete, leave huge, ugly swirling patterns on the surface…looks like a giant squirrel died there, leaving a horrible pattern….

Like the squirrle died in agony, huh?
Sit the job until the concrete firms up enough to not show marks and then cover it. It is still producing its own heat after that.
