Blew out a walkway pour last Tuesday because I ignored the humidity

I was doing a small walkway for a guy in Edmonton, maybe 25 feet long. The mix felt fine when I started, but by the time I got to the far end the surface was already setting up hard. I ended up with a rough finish and some shallow cracking near the edge. Anyone else have the weather sneak up on them like that and mess up a simple job?

Edmonton humidity got me on a driveway last summer, dried the edges before I could finish.

You're supposed to prep for humidity before you pour, not blame the weather after.
