The ground may be frozen 4-6' now, and it may be a pain to drive 24" rebar into it, and even more of a pain to pound fence posts alongside the monument, but it's still better to spend a day with a 12 lb sledge and a fence post driver than spend all day in the office.:-P

I'd think a hammer drill would work great for setting rebars in frozen ground. If you knock the fin off the bottom of a tee post, can you drive it into a 1-1/2" hole fairly easily?
However, a day in the office beats being outside in blizzard conditions like today.

Trust me on this one, not the way to proceed, the big hammer and driver is better. And it works up a good sweat too. 🙂
There is some give to frozen soil, more so than a frozen lake. And the odd thing is that one of my points was in a lava rock outcrop; no worse this time of year than other times, the big hammer drove it through. Couldn't flange the post on that one.
I've heard that is really popular, I seem to be without age appropriate relatives for that, it's Twilight and the hobbits now.
Let's go, let's go
Can't stand the office anymore
Let's go, let's go
CAD is such an f'in bore
Actually- the line from the song-
"the cold never bothered me anyway"
